OK - I'm 3 shaves in. Wednesday's intended Bunny shave became a Contour cart shave :rolleyes: then out of the door early because of work. So, onto Friday - 2 day's growth, same Chick blade and mild comb and a U.S. artisan goat's milk/bay rum soap. Now, I 'got' what Billy means by the Caspar the Ghost shave - everything seemed to come together for a nice smooth shave with zero irritation. Fast forward to today - 4 day's growth, same blade and comb, Meibner Tremonia Moroccan Rhassoul soap. Some v. minor irritation to the left side of my face - maybe I have problems maintaining consistent pressure + angle on the left (I'm right handed) or my whiskers were too long or more practice needed. I'd like to try a different comb/blade and tuck another couple of shaves in. Since I'm being sent all over for the next few days, I'm aiming to parcel up/send on Monday/Tuesday. Hope that's ok.
 
The Bunny will be moving on tomorrow with tracking numbers to Andreas and @Sabre - I have your address, thank you.
Last shave today - I didn't get the chance to try a different blade (away from home a lot lately, although one day was at RIAT :)) but I did give the Notso comb a whirl. 3 day's growth and my best shave so far, although I did skin my Adam's apple a teeny bit. I reckon I'm getting the hang of the razor - just as it has to go!
This has to be my favourite injector of the ones I've tried. I've never cut myself or had a weeper - the worst has been a bit of irritation. Rightly or wrongly I've found that my index finger gravitates towards the spot between the 2 mounting points on the spring - I'm used to a longer handle and it seems to help with the angle.
Would I buy one? A resounding yes - it is unique. Fingers crossed that is comes to production or that, as I've said before, Tom is making one for everyone in the passarounds :D
(Thanks to Tom and Andreas for giving us the opportunity to try this).
 
Thanks for the feedback @Geofnay.

Rightly, as far as I'm concerned. That's exactly how I hold my Bunny. The tip of the index finger on the spring, just opposite the screw or on the screw when going ATG. It's an unusual grip, but it works well for me and it seemed to have worked for you as well.
 
The Bunny is hopping along to its next destination

My first shave was a bit of a blood bath, even with the mild comb. I used the angle that I usually use with my Type L. I emailed two experienced bunny shavers, and followed their advice and photo guide.
My second shave was better, but I find keeping the correct angle difficult when shaving beyond my ear at the hair line or going ATG with the Bunny upside down on my neck. No bites, second time around. I will try a different comb next time. Aestheticly, what more can you say that hasn't been said.

Thanks Tom and Andreas.
 
Try this: The copper spring should touch the skin at all times. Have a look at the following picture (I'll try to make a better one tomorrow). The black line is your skin.

If you lift the spring off your skin, the angle will be out. 'Ride the spring' and the Bunny will glide across your face and remove stubble as collateral damage.
This is what I found. YBMV.

Oh yes: NO PRESSURE! NONE!
