    Not one of my favorites, it fits in with my flare tips.
    It shaves alright but sometimes you have to check to see if you have a blade in it.

    Truth be told, of the hand/machine crafted razor that I have? I'll reach for a 'New' 'Tech' 'SuperSpeed' 'Aristocrat' before any. But in all honesty I do shave with two or three different razors in any given week. All shaving soaps/creams have their place as to DE razors, as do DE razor blades and I use at least two different of each each week. I try not to do anything by habit.:D

    p.s. And between the rocket and the Feather, I would reach for the Rocket 8 of 10 times. :cool::eatdrink047:
