Outstanding Quick Shave
I just did two passes on my face and one on my neck today with outstanding results. WSP makes the best cream I've used, and I love their tobacco scent.

Thank you for the kind words. I love the Raw razor. Much better then expected to be honest. I'm a bit jaded with razors and expected a good shave, but not to this level. It is very comfortable and extremely smooth. I thought the lubricating strips might have been a gimmick but it seems to be the real deal. After 4 shaves under my belt with this guy, I really want to hang with it for more then one blade. Usually I switch things up, but I do not want to stop using it. It is still rather early to make a full judgement, but right now I believe it shaves better then my Wolfman razors. My top razors are my Wolfman SS, Wolfman Ti, Eclipse Red Ring, Ti Baby Smooth, and this Raw RS-18. I clearly like the Raw better then the Timeless and Charcoal Goods. It is all personal taste, but the blade feel and feedback are just perfect for me, combined with the ultra smoothness and I have to say that I highly recommend the Raw. I can't say enough good things. I bought it on sale during the black friday deals and it was actually the same price as the RS-10. Since I was really intrigued with the lube strips and looking for something different, I had to go for it and glad I did. Hopefully they don't become a problem to acquire in the future, but I will probably stock up on them for the future.
