Overall this is a very good razor. As I mentioned, there are no exposed blade tabs, which I like and the design is strikingly beautiful. The smooth black finish is surprisingly grippy when wet. I had a difficult time adjusting to how light weight it is. But once I did I found it to be an excellent razor, mildly aggressive and easy to maneuver around the back of the head. I didn't pay full price (in fact about 1/3 of regular retail). Had I paid the full amount I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I do.
