Enter the Dragon
This was my first use of the Merkur Vision, a beast of a razor. It is giant compared to my Rockwell 6s, and of similar weight. I went for broke and used it wide open because I like aggressive/efficient razors. I used my Futur on 6, and the Rockwell on plate R6. Compared to those, I could feel the blade much more with the Vision. The shave was also closer than either of those razors. I don't remember my face being smoother. The Vision is not as comfortable on first impression, and I did get a few weepers as I learn the best technique for it. I expected the splash to burn, but it really didn't, and my face feels great now. I don't shave my mustache, but I can imagine the Vision would not be the best choice for that area because it's head is large.
I'm looking forward to using this razor for years to come.

The 89 head and a yellow Gillette is always a trustworthy combo for me. As well as my well broken in 1305. A joy to use.
