I had my first shave with this razor today. Soap used was Messina Tremonia pots of milk, the blade (half blade) was a Permasharp and a Simpson badger brush. Shave itself was very enjoyable, mild, irritation free and quite comfortable. If you are the type of shaver that is chasing BBS shaves, then this razor is not for you (DFS shaves are quite achievable). This razor is not going to challenge you but it will give you easy and comfy shaves. For those that are looking for challenges may I suggest a straight razor.
I almost forgot, the plastic tab that covers the razor blade will most likely wear out so this razor will not last decades. Tomorrow I’ll put in a Feather blade so I expect a closer shave.
