Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 2,090
1st shave with this razor. I'd like to at the outset say that it's disappointing that some razors are coming out for individuals that purchased a razor and are having alignment issues. I saw a video yesterday where the person after doing a video and had a good shave with his later said it had an alignment issue on a subsequent shave and cut him pretty bad. He pulled the good shave video so as not to influence people to buy and he have regrets of them getting a bad one on his endorsement. Mine seems to be good on the first shave but the fact that this company is starting off with controversy I would think Quality Control would be of the upmost importance and ALL razors would be ensured to be good when shipped, especially to those that spent their hard earned money on them.(That's 2 that I know of now) I just want to be upfront and get that concern out of the way first and foremost. On to my 1st shave.
As stated when the razor arrived yesterday, mine appears to be of good quality and by all appearances right now there are no alignment issues. I rolled the settings up and down numerous times to see if it would change at all. It to the eye appears to be fine. At setting one I dragged it down my cheek to get a feel for the blade feel and felt nothing. So this morning I decided to set it at the full stop of 6.5 on the dial and have a go. The shave was smooth and effective. 1 little grab on my old man neck skin that flapped and got caught but nothing really to speak of. At that wide a gap I should have been more careful on those side strokes but got lulled to inattention due to the smoothness it was shaving. 1st shave in the books and no issues. I will try various settings even though that is not the norm for me since I just find the setting that works and stick to it even on adjustable razors. The reason for varying it is to see if any issue arises when it gets manipulated up and down as many will do when using theirs. Looking forward to others thoughts on this razor as they get their shaves in and hope all will post something whether good or bad so we get "The Facts" on this razor. It can be done respectfully even if a bad experience is had. Honesty is needed to be of any value for others to make an informed decision for themselves as well as for the Company to have a chance to fix things noted thru this feedback. Have a great day everyone !
