Well, I "liked" the post but no-one likes the long cut. Good going elsewhere Paul

Thanks Gary, a no shave day can be a good start to the weekend, but to be honest it didn't feel right!

Hi Asil, lovely setups, thanks for sharing.

Have some Super Slick Sunday Shaves gents

 

Thank you Chris. Have a great Sunday.

 

Thanks Chris. My first shave left me with a smooth and comfortable mug. No boo-boos, and the alum was quiet. I didn't get greedy with the touch-ups after two passes. I will need a few more shaves to become comfortable with the grip. You have to use both hands (or sit the razor down) when you want to use the opposite side of the blade. The grip was good, even with damp fingertips.

It's a fun little razor that demands a lot of respect. I'll continue using it for awhile to get the hang of it.

 

Thanks Gary!

Thanks.

 

That might be the coolest razor I've ever seen. It's the ultimate travel razor!

I'm actually guessing it could work pretty well. It looks easy to put the right amount of pressure on it. But I could also be very wrong about that.

Go easy and have some fun with it!

 

Pretty sure that wasn't the cause of your cuts, Paul.
