I received my Wunderbar yesterday, and matched it against two days growth, paired with a brand new Polsilver Super Iridium, my current favorite blade. Today, sixteen hours later my face remains smooth.
I have int total ( I counted yesterday) 53 razors, and no pairing has ever given me this result.
The Wunderbar mowed down the growth with murderous efficiency. I shave regularly with the Muhle R41, and I have often used the Ikon Teck, which I find to be aggressive but without being especially efficient, and I use the Futur on it's highest setting, so I'm not intimidated by aggressive razors. They don't leave me streaming with blood, but the Wunderbar is a different beast entirely.
I've never used a razor that requires such a light touch. It's very, very efficient, but I feel that you need solid technique for it to deliver its best results. I got two neck weepers, which is a real rarity for me these days, as I get BBS shaves most shaves and very rarely get nicks, cuts, or weepers with any razor and blade combination.
By the way, I have many slants, and I'm partial to almost all of them, so it's not a slant thing. In fact some of my slants I consider to be pretty mild. The Wunderbar feels quite different. The blade is held absolutely fast. Wonderfully precise.
The Wunderbar is so efficient that as I wake up this morning ( I shaved in the mid afternoon yesterday, as I had to make a local TV appearance) I really have nothing to shave! What a dilemma as I need to have a totally clean face for at least 12 hours tomorrow, so I'll probably shave again tomorrow morning! Damn, I can't play with my toys!
Anyway, I'm curious to hear what others have found with the Wunderbar, especially blade pairings.
