    Day seven and my last day with the Bunny, My final thoughts , For Me this design is perfect I wouldn't change a thing it's very user friendly from changing the combs to loading a blade and keeping it clean,the angle you shave with is very easy to find ,I got seven great shaves,no irritation,no cuts or nicks! My hat is off to @twhite for an awesome design,And thank you to @Karl G for coordinating this great pass around again. Providing I don't get stuck at work the Bunny should be on its way to @Jim99 tomorrow afternoon :happy088: And always remember and never forget YMMV!!:) Now where is that Pal Adjustable at???:D DSCF0867.JPG HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

    Great stuff @ilts. From what I remember the Bunny was the smoothest SE razor I've ever tried. I didn't try WILD, but now I may have to.

    The bunny has found its way to New Jersey!

    I came home and my wife said "let me guess... another razor!" I told her it's not just any razor. No sir! It's the bunny! Yeah, she thinks I'm nuts.

    No pictures tonight, but I'll try it out tomorrow morning. However, my fir impression is this is one well built bunny!

    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?

    Day 2 with the bunny and it was another BBS shave! I'm still getting used to finding the correct angle, but I'm really liking this razor!

    It was easier today to find the angle and it was easier to get around the nose. I got one weeper, but no big deal. This razor has a nice feel. I might try the "wild" comb tomorrow.

    It really helped me to think "copper against the skin" when I used the Bunny. That instantly improved my shaves. The handle was pretty high - almost perpendicular to my face.

    That's right Perry. Perpendicular best describes the angle. If the angle isn't spot on, you're not going anywhere with this razor. It's not hard to find, but does take a shave or two to get the hang of it. It's a very cool razor!

    Try placing the top of the curve of the spring against your face and then slowly lower the handle until the guard makes contact. That's it. :happy088:
