    That one is questionable as far as if it can be brought back to presentable condition again...I'm gonna give it a go next week but I don't have super high hopes

    Bled me good the first time I used it and was never a really comfortable shave after that. Expected it to be like a comparable Schick. It ain't.

    Shaved with the "Sticky" for the first time today.

    First impression was how much I really liked the handle - it's big, solid and believe it or not but it actually does provide a great grip when it gets wet.
    The enthusiasm dwindled a little bit as I started shaving - this is indeed a really mild razor and to end up with a clean shave I did have to do a bit of clean up passes.
    If I were to compare it to something I'd say it was as mild as a Gillette Blue Tip but didn't quite have the efficiency of that razor.

    Now, it was an enjoyable shave and I often find that I change my opinion after a few uses. I will absolutely keep the razor in my 'lil collection and will use it quite a bit more to see how it ends up working for me.
    If it, however, stays exactly as my first impression I don't think I'll be reaching for it over my Blue Tip, Black Tip or Personna Injector when I am in the mood for a mild shave.

    Been a while since I've seen one for sale on eBay.
    There's one right now advertised as a Sticky but it's actually a clone.

    This one is the real deal deal though and at $59 + UK shipping it might be on the higher end of what these should run for.
    It's a grey tip one so it's for the European market and supposedly even milder than the one I have.
