First Shave With a Safety

Ive been after a good shave, i have yet to have one, and have tried every thing that has come out, except the $300 electric, safety and a strait, ive been toying with the notion of a strait, but have been to nerves about them, so i got a safety for x-mas, so today was the first time i could use it, as i lathered up, i said to myself, i dont think this is going to cut it another waist, since its been a few days since ive had a shave this is going to be rough, so i took one swipe, didnt feel anything and said ha, i knew it wouldnt do it! so when i looked in the mirror, there was nothing there, no lather, nor hair! oh wow tell me i found something that's going to work, so i finished the shave, had no problem, no rough pulls(my big problem) and after i dried off, i let my wife look it over and she gave it her approval, its been 6hrs and its still so smooth, i am so shocked, looks like i have me a winner! my wife ordered it, so she couldnt tell the diff, but after the first shave i noticed something, it was suppose to be a Merkur Model 180 Long Handled, yet its not what i got, they sent a Merkur 20C instead(long handle), but its not black but gray? Don't get me wrong, i like it, plus its goes for $12 more in black then the other, but i cant find it in gray, only black.. i told her to get the 180 cause it had the best rating out of all that i could find? someone told me, who cares how much or little it cost, if it gave you the best shave you've had, its worth the cost!
