    Nice shave and gear, Evan. I have never used a kamishavette so I may be out of order with this comment. I don't understand why you aren't getting feedback from it because you should get one when using a DE blade. However, I have relied on muscle memory when I have used my wedge straight razor which doesn't give any feedback. I would suggest that you land the razor flat and lift slightly until the blade catches the whiskers to cut them down and then remember that angle. You will be less dependent on feedback when doing this. However, I admit that it is nice to hear scraping burnt toast while shaving.

    I like them sharp....very sharp. This kinda baffled me Gary. It is agressive for an E3 I know but it never tore me up like this before .

    Well, bloodletting does happen, but thank goodness it is a rare occurance. Sorry about the bloody shave, Patrick, but the gear was top notch.

    I'm thinking it was the blade . I've been using open blades , shavettes, agressive razors and home made contraptions for MAYhem which never cut me like this before . Ive used this razor alot and it is the first time it drew blood .

    Thanks, but if you're gonna call me Keith, then @Keithmax and I need to trade places. I'd go for that. Not sure he would think that was a fair deal. ;)
