Results? - you have no idea how good those shaves were for me -
Joy unbounded! The heavenly host - and the choir angelic - descend - an orchestra staffed entirely by nubile Nubians deliver 'Ode to Joy' in the way Beethoven intended. Cherubim flutter - hither and thither - with trays of drinks - so - you get the idea - good shaves all. Finally my damaged thumb is sort of back to normal - this is a good thing - a second good thing was picking up a Colonial aluminium single edge head on bst - I appreciate that I'm kind of late to the party with this razor - it seemed to be very well regarded - knowing why now. For me - effortlessly good - first use was on an eight day growth - no problem at all. Interestingly - the head wont screw onto my Rockwell handle - the threading isn't deep enough. The General will be a keeper for me - even after only a few uses - I know this is a razor that suits me. Consider me impressed.
All good - it is nice to get your shaving mojo back - enjoy yours one and all - yours - I.
Thanks to
@Wayne Pritchard for a seamless 're-homing' of his General.
