It's been almost a week with my BBS, so here's my (longer) review:
Aesthetics & construction - stainless steel, shiny, appears professionally made. I like the highly curved architecture. Both blade tabs are fully covered, which I also like as I don't have to worry about thoughtless nicks to my ears or nose (or simply grabbing the razor in a hurry). The blade alignment is easy (posts on the cap) and very secure. For handles, my favorites from RazoRock are the barberpole (aesthetically excellent, very good grip) and the super knurl (outstanding for grip, aesthetically very good). I don't like RazoRock's smooth handles.
Shaving - a little blade feel, but pretty minimal. Feels balanced. It glides very easily with minimal drag, much like a Fatip/Fatip Slant (or a Mamba 70). The shaving angle range is relatively small, especially compared to a Fatip, but it's pretty easy to find quickly and isn't nearly as finicky as the Mamba 70. It feels mild/friendly in that it's hard to nick or cut yourself with even decent technique; I've used this mostly for quick shaves before work and it's a great daily driver. It's efficient - a single pass works well enough for a socially acceptable shave, bordering on a darn fine shave. It's as efficient, for me, as any other razor I own (including slants, Fatips, Game Changers, and vintage Gillettes).
Price - excellent for a stainless steel razor of this quality. I like the weight (I don't like aluminum nearly as much).
Overall, I give the razor a 5/5. I can't think of any room for improvement aside from RazoRock coming out with more unique yet grippy handles (I wish their Vertigo handle was available by itself). The closest razor I can compare it to would be a Fatip Gentile/Gentile slant, with a significantly narrower range of angles which makes it feel quite friendly at the expense of versatility in handle angles.
Caveat: I've grown a goatee, so I haven't specifically tried this over my chin or under my nose, but I don't see any issues with that.
