FIRST SHAVE WITH ARES SS

Today's shave was just a pleasure. The Ares is outstanding and makes a shave such an enjoyable event. The SS version provided and comfortable, smooth and very efficient shave. I know that many are gun-shy of an Open Comb razor, but this beauty has none of that aggression or discomfort. It shaves like a SB razor but is far more efficient. Just a great way to start the day.
