I couldn't agree more! Mine cost me £13 shipped if I remember rightly! People seem to have issue with blade alignment, but with a bit of practice it becomes a non-issue. What's the situation with the slant? Does it have all of the same quirks?
November 24th Razor: British Gillette Aristocrat OC Blade: Astra SS Brush: MrEE X3 Clone SS: Palmolive AS: Florida Water Still really liking this OC 'Crat. Also really liked the ease of the cream. Just squeeze some on the presoaked brush and get started. Gentle buffing 2 pass shave to BBS finish and a splash of Florida Water. My wife broke a tooth today. Looks like she'll need a crown. Today I'm thankful for an emergency fund. There was a time when something like this would have really hurt the budget. Now we just withdraw some from savings and pay it back to ourselves in the next couple months. No big deal. We've been very blessed. Minor bumps in the road don't hurt anymore.
