Thanks Douglas.. It was verrry nice indeed. It has set me up very well for the rest of the day. I always think a good shave in the morning is a good foundation for what is to follow!
Thanks, Tim. If you take your time, you can find a new one or even "like-new" one for a deeply discounted price. In the world of SS razors, the AS-D2 is not only one of the best, but one of the most affordable.
