Thanks
@ilts . Steve, the bunny arrived in style, with our mailman bringing it right up to the front door.
I used the bunny this morning and got a wonderful shave! After looking at the three combs (mild, wild and not so), I went against what might be conventional wisdom and used the "notso".
First impression is that this razor is over the top! Engineering is fantastic, with everything being of a fine precision and well built. This razor would last a lifetime or two! The head is big! I was a bit intimidated at first, but got over that in the first pass. The handle provides a good grip. At first, I thought it would weigh more. The razor is no lightweight, but it is not heavy. I'll guess and say it's in the neighborhood of 3 ounces/70 grams. I'll weigh it tonight. It's also a very nice looking razor, with contrasting copper and machined aluminum.
Finding the proper angle was not intuitive for me at first. I had it, then lost it and then had it again. Concentration helps here. With the big head, I couldn't shave around my nose. Then I thought I would handle it like my Gem razors and I was able to shave around my nose just fine.
I used a modern Personna blade, along with Stirling bay rum soap (thanks
@ezlovan ) and just love the scent and slickness. I topped it off with some Aqua Velva musk. A total of two passes got me two nicks, but also a fine BBS shave all around.
I know it's just one shave, but this is a great razor!
@twhite , thanks. Now can I keep it?
