Well, I have the bunny... but no shave today. /cry
The alarm didn't go off and I got up too late. But, maybe I can get Edmund and the boys to pose for a few pics later today.

Props to @Jayaruh for the shipping label he created (he included his avi and mine... both with the bunny) and for the 1 million dollar bill he enclosed; shipping from the South Pole can be quite expensive, so I appreciate the help! /clappity

It's first come, first served at this point. Who else wants in?

First bunny shave (mild comb, arko soap, chick blade) in the bag!
And right off, I will agree wholeheartedly that looks like something a ton of R&D went into. No way does it look like a hobby project, that's for sure.

Main concerns going in: 1. a smooth, possibly slippery handle which wasn't an issue so long as my hands were just wet and not soapy. and 2. finding the right angle without losing my epidermis completely.

I found the shave angle very easy to find. Yes, it is different than a standard injector. But, if you start with the hump of the spring against your face and slowly lower the handle toward your face, you will find it no problem. I will note that I found myself holding the handle lower than others seem to recommend and it worked out just fine for me. Finding the angle for against the grain on my throat (down strokes for me) took a little adjusting, but again, it was easy.

edit2: Blade loading was easy to accomplish (it slid right in), but a bit of a fiddle to actually align properly, as others have experienced. So, one tweak would be more obvious blade stops if there should be a V4.

As others have noted: NO PRESSURE... WE MEAN IT! It's actually, a little bit of an odd feeling... the razor seems to glide, even float, over your face more so than shave. But, like magic, hair vanishes.

End result, I did two passes (should have done three, but didn't want to push my luck) and ended up with an office-acceptable shave. Definitely, I still have some rough spots around my throat and jaw line, but I was playing it safe.

So far so good, as they say. I am definitely impressed! Thank you @twhite !

edit: Pics will have to come later. Edmund and the boys still have their bills tucked under their wings.

You may want to move on to the NOTSO comb. Just saying... The WILD was my favorite. You could get there faster and enjoy even better shaves. The WILD is not as intimidating as it sounds.

I was thinking that I will move up for tomorrow so good idea. I also want to try like, the Euro guys did, no comb at all.

I thought about that after I sent it to you. It is like a razor blade on a stick. Be careful if you do.

You betcha. The only reason I even thought of it is that the Euro guys seem to have gotten good, blood free results.

I tried it earlier this week. I got a few weepers on my chin. It was exciting trying it.

I'm next on the list! Where I have a bit of stage fright about writing intelligent reports, I have to admit (with a blatant rip-off from @Jayaruh) I can't stop thinking about it!!!!!!

Well, here's something to think about instead... if you shave your "backside" with it, you get to keep it.

Yes, but it has to be on video

Clearly, you are a glutton for punishment.

It's picture time... Edmund is still sleeping, so I guess he will just have to wait. But, he had a rough night defending the Czardom from Polar Bears and cartridge shavers, so I'll give him a break for now.

Here's the mailman making his delivery (I still have to coax him out of the refrigerator just to get my mail. /sigh):


And a couple of the younger guys getting me a coffee and stopping to admire along the way:

Never mind the Backside.. Get the Penguin Baw's shave on Video..

Billy..

This is as close as you'll be getting to that. Take it or leave it.

Billy..

If you need any real penguins to guard the Bunny contact Youngstown State University.

I'll keep that in mind; the Penguinators are due for a day off, or at least so they think.
