I was reading here and other forums about this Cobra Razor. It piqued my interest - well I received it three days ago and my reviews are in - AWESOME!!!
It is well-made and handles very nicely in my hand. I ordered plenty of the Professional feather blades - so I am good for a nice long time.
I lathered up using Turkish Old Spice - after prepping (shower with noxema on face for a couple of minutes) and I jumped in. The first time - I had NO pressure - got a very good shave, with very little razor burn. Based on all the reviews - I thought I would see blood dripping off my face...The second shave, I had more confidence - I got a BBS in two passes with maybe one little touch up on neck. No razor burn, BBS (including trouble spots - jaw near ear, neck near adams apple and under lip) - there was nothing left to shave. Put on some Poraso AS - and it felt great.
I would consider this the closest shave - a touch closer (a gnat's eyelash) than a Gem OCMM.
I have to go through my collection and move a bunch of DE's and SE and injectors - as I think I found my razor.
If you are thinking about getting one - just do it - as you only live once - but you shave everyday and you should enjoy it...
