Hello winter and everone on this fine Sunday morning.
I know this is a 30 day forum kinda but I don't have a rule in place yet so....
I found this little chunk of metal in the mail box, not unexpected mind you. Took it for a spin in the clean up routine last night. Tried it out for this mornings Sunday shave.

Notice it isn't in perfect condition but very good user grade. While cleaning it, I took note of the weight, heavy. This might be one of the heaviest razors I own.
The razor did catch me off gard once, a little burn spot on the side of the neck. To much weight on the blade for what I'm used to. After I got the heaviness under control, things got better, much better. I'll admit it took almost half of the first pass to lighten things up, but after the right side lap so to speak, pure shaving goodness took place in the bathroom.
The second and third pass went nice and swift with no more issues. The three pass head shave was close and smooth with no issues.
Oh, didn't mention I started out on setting 9, and finished on 9. Seems a adjustables on the highest setting is a good starting place for me, then I just leave it there.

Although I am a fan of light weight razors, almost wore me out keeping this one on the lighter of things.

It's not going any where, it's a keeper!
I understand why this razor is so wanted, I just bought it on a whim, glad I did.
Great shave, gental blade feel too.
All in all a great shave to say the least.
