Managed to get a shave with the Red beastie today. First impressions out of the box is it's a quality piece of kit, finish is superb, handle is gripper than a grippy thing and it looks tremendous. Not convinced I like the balance and I feel the handle is a bit narrow for my liking.
Now to the shave... Lathered up some Grandstaff Grapefruit Gardenia and loaded a Polsilver SI. First pass, struggled a little with the angle (it seems to have a narrow window) so didn't feel it was removing much. Passes two and three were slightly better and I ended up with a fuss free DFS. First impressions are that its not efficient enough for me and I felt I needed a fair bit of pressure but I'll be interested to see how I get on with a few more shaves. Will probably try with another handle next time.
