I've shaved twice with it, first with a new Polsilver & tonight with a new Gillette Silver Blue. The latter was a bit smoother. I have had to alter my technique somewhat on my chin due to the long comb, i.e., no chin 'wrinkling', but this is a really outstanding razor. Nonetheless, one need pay attention as it will most certainly 'bite' you if not paying attention. I don't think I'll make it a daily razor per se, as I like something a tad more mild and forgiving. Regardless, what a piece of history.
