I stayed with SV,for a luxurious near-BBS Christmas shave. The blade has got smoother.
 
How was your shave experience with this Kamisori, Hannes? Am I right to assume it's tougher to shave with such a thing than with a foldable razor?
To the contrary Guido. It’s much easier to balance and change fingerpositions you can even slightly roll it to adjust angles without the bulk of the folding handle. I was really surprised how easy and nimble it was to maneuver so a happy camper here :)

Notes:

Harsher than yesterday, but equally smooth. Good shave despite the weepers.
