2 pass, Touch ups mouth corners

First time using this razor. This was also the first time in recent memory of using this blade past 7 runs. This was an excellent shave! I did not plan to try this razor on three day's growth but that is how things played out. I decided to blade up to the Kai Captain to hedge my bets against the level of growth. It was an efficient shave without any harshness from the Kai Captain blade. There was just the right amount of blade feel for this blade. It was more pleasant to use than the Ti Vector for this blade. The OG Vector base plate would have bogged down in this growth and I would have used the Vector OC plate instead, but the Spirit was much more pleasant to use than those options. I found the razor easy to use under my nose. The weight of the razor was a little heavier than several of the razors I use these days but it was nicely balanced and not overly heavy. I got carried away with the shave and decided to do touch ups without lather in the corners of my mouth, hit the wrong angle and earned a weeper. Overall I am very impressed with this razor. It may have displaced my Ti Vector for this blade.

Thanks Big_T !

Looks like Alpha has two new Spirits coming out, one each in titanium and bronze. They’re on Alpha’s website.

Oooooooooooo……..

That Bronze has my name on it. I can see it already.

Same here, I have a stainless but couldn’t resist the bronze. Guess I’ll be clearing the den soon.

Looks like sold out already?

I don’t think it’s sold out. They just posted in another forum last night and said put your email down and that it’s 4-5 weeks out. The post was less than an hour old when I saw it and their website said they were sold out. I guess some clarification is needed.

Many times they will set up the listing and mark it Sold Out until they are ready to release them and then they open it for purchase. Standard Operating Procedure
