..and i liked it.
of course coming on here and reading impressions/tips from other uses didn't hurt i'm sure
but i could see after a few strokes how it got the reputation for being a bloodthirsty monster. it does feel like it won't be very forgiving if you get a bit sloppy.
closeness wise i didn't get the same quality shave as with my slant, (i did two light wtg passes) but i would have felt like i did something wrong if the first try worked out that well. no nicks or real irritation to speak of, but the angles on the tricky parts of my face and neck will require a little experimentation.
the ideal angle for my face seems to be pretty close to what is generally specified on here. i had the head more or less flat on my face, but i did end up tilting the handle a bit toward the floor without even realizing i did it.
and the sound really is pretty unique.
