It's sharp and it cuts. I like it...

Hadn’t had a shave with the VB Emperor Augustus in a long while. Came close a few times on letting it go. Well, I still have it and pulled it out for this morning’s shave. The outcome was a very smooth and comfortable BBS finish in 3 uneventful passes. Paired it with a Feather, set the dial to 7 and the Augustus just went through 2.5 days of whiskers with ease. This thing is a tank yet feels nicely balanced with excellent grip. Well built and a real nice shaver...

Okay, I took a chance on the Emperor and am looking forward to receiving it in the next few days. Smile

It [font=georgia]was a good one this morning. The VB Emperor cleared out the whiskers with relative ease (2 days worth) and comfortably so. Is it the greatest adjustable razor ever made? Hardly but, it delivers a good shave from mild to nice blade feel depending on the setting and the side you are using. For the $$$, it’s a real good razor that has very good build quality with a cool color and sort of retro look. Bottom line is, it shaves....[/font]
