First shave of this new-to-me razor.
Initial impressions are great. The razor looks great and everything works as it should. The tapered handle is a little bottom heavy which combines with the mild shave.
The design I love, in particular the magnetic blade holder and the twist to open mechanism which has a sliding blade cover rather than silo doors.
Obviously one shave is not enough for a proper review but so much will be discovered with first impressions and the first shave. I found it very easy to use and did not obtain any nicks, even when pushing carefully a little harder on purpose.
Shaving under the nose is easy.
It does feel quite mild but still seems effective. Will be interesting to see how less sharp blades fair and if I will get irritation from less smooth blades.
I chose an English Wilkie blade as this is an excellent sharp and smooth blade and one I know well.
