This, at least for me (and probably for you), is a truly unbelievable razor. It looks different, feels different and gives a perfect irritationless, bloodless, nickless shave!I have been shaving daily since I was 15 years old. I'm 79 now. I have shaved with Gillette's, Schick DE and injector razors, and probably every cartridge and disposable razor and blade ever made. I have several high end, some very expensive, DE razors. I have never, ever had a razor like this one (I'll wager you haven't either). For me at least, it is a perfect razor that gives perfect shaves... no matter what I do.I have had it for two days/two shaves. The first shave I was very careful in the beginning to "see what I had". The first half of the first pass felt a little rough, but from there on it was smooth as silk. I was told years ago, the Wilkinson blades initially hone their edges on your skin the first time they were used. In the '60s I found that to be true. In the years after, as their quality began to slip (for me), it no longer was. With this razor, after the first half of the first pass (with the grain), it was true again.I finished a two pass shave and was sold. I have a very course beard and sensitive skin. To finish the shave with a truly close shave with no irritation (and no nicks or cuts) was truly a treat.Today was my second shave. I set the razor up to fail by doing everything wrong I could think of, starting by going against the grain. It did tug some, but no worse that I get from a DE or Mach3. My chin has always been "nick central". I have a deeper area between my lower lip and chin. If I'm going to get a nick, or downright cut, that's where it happens no matter how careful I am. Not this time, and I wasn't being careful. I shaved with the grain, against the grain, then side to side with absolutely no problem, and the the tough to get rid of stubble was GONE... smooth as a baby's butt, and NO irritation or blood!My neck, which is an irritation collector, was smooth, clean and irritation free. Unreal!I'm going to try again tomorrow, but this time doing everything correctly. I have no doubt I'll get a pleasant, problem free, close shave. I will be shocked it I don't.People have complained about the proprietary blades. For me, who cares! I don't know how long the blades will last yet. I'll report back when I do, but given the easiness and results, I really don't care. The blades price out at about a buck per cartridge ($5 for 6 cartridges on Amazon). I expect to get several more shaves out of this one, but if I only get these two, 50 cents or so per shave is well worth it given the ease of use and results. 4 or 5 shaves makes it CHEAP given the results. Any more than that makes it a gift.The fit and spacing of the cartridge is perfect as is the weight and balance of the razor. Finish isn't absolutely perfect, but similar to more expensive razors. For me, this is the find of a lifetime.I found this razor when I was surfing the net. Didn't know they even existed. I have no connection to Amazon, Wilkinson, or any company having anything to do with shaving. I paid full price on Amazon ($24 is pretty inexpensive for a descent razor based on my experience).No covets. It you have a tough beard, sensitive skin, hard spot to get to, and are cost conscience to boot, you MUST try this razor. Give it a chance in the beginning. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
