I can't think of any way of inserting the link here that doesn't involve copying and pasting the link. Unless of course you want to type it all by hand... :unsure: postimg works well enough for me, though occasionally they do have bad hair days, something unknown to me as a fellow head shaver :LOL:

Last run with the WR4 before I send it back home to daddy. It's been an eye-opener to see just how effortless a perfect GBS can be. (y) (y)

How does this compare to the Vector and Romulus?

The Romulus (which I gather is the same razor as the Excalibur/Raster that I tried a while back) is essentially a poor man's Vector. It does give a creditable shave, but it's not up to the quality of the Vector, and it doesn't give the same freedom of shaving angle. The WR4 (at least in the 0.7 gap) gives a smoother shave than the Vector, and I could easily use it every day.
