This razor, which is part of a passaround organized on the r/ws discord, arrived with me yesterday. Initial impressions are good – extremely efficient while remaining comfortable. I had reservations about the razor head size, since it’s quite a bit bulkier than other DE razor heads that I enjoy, but the geometry does a lot to keep the size out of the way. I also found it basically effortless to find the correct shave angle.
Overall this was an extremely close shave with no irritation. More research needed, but so far I like this razor much more than expected. Not a fan of the color though, that’s for sure.
Happy Friday!
