In keeping with the YMMV axiom, it seems that my experience with the AS-D2 has been quite different than many on this forum. I acquired my AS-D2 a couple weeks ago and almost immediately found this razor's sweet spot. In fact, I find that this razor removes hair just as efficiently as my other razors (including my Weber and Wolfman OC), expect for maybe my NEW LC. The shaves I've been getting with the AS-D2 are so close and comfortable that I have had to make an effort to not use the AS-D2 while I acquaint myself with my other newly-acquired razor, the Wolfman OC.
I had purchased the AS-D2 thinking that I would try it, not like it, and sell it for a small loss. (This assumption was based on my experience with the Feather Popular, which doesn't work well for me.) Not only will I not be selling the AS-D2, but this razor poses a serious threat to the other razors in my modest collection and makes me question whether it can coexist in a rotation with razors that don't quite provide the same blend of closeness and comfort. Of course, I don't plan on selling my other razors anytime soon, but the minimalist in me would be perfectly content with having the AS-D2 as my only razor.
