Having recently migrated back to DE shaving, I was breaking in with a VDH razor to get the technique back, but was in the market for an upper end razor, thus beginning the trek through razor nirvana. I was sold on the SS material simply for wear, ease of cleaning, and overall longevity. Was about to pull the trigger o the AS-2D, however I read a post about Weber and based on reviews and the fact it is made here in the USA, I decided to give it a go, and boy I am glad I did
It was received 9/29/2014 so 1st shave was set for 9/30/2014. Unbelievable fast shipping!
No presentation box, just nicely wrapped in bubble wrap and just the facts mam, no fluff
Having heard that this razor is mildly aggressive more so than a 34C I decided to use a Gillette Silver Blue blade I had previously shaved with for two-days.
Overall impressions:
The shave was incredible 3 -passes WTG, XTG, ATG with uber lather, and it was by far the closest shave I have ever had, with no Razor burn, nicks, etc.
The heft of the razor made it a very light touch using the weight of the head perfect
Handle is just the right length for ease and the knurling and grip was outstanding
blade replacement is a snap as with all 3-piece razors and the overall quality of the polishing on the head was superb.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
plus saving about $155.00 for a SS Razor was the icing on the cake,
doing a direct comparison to the ASD2I would say it is every bit as good and would put it up to any other SS razors on the market.
