OK, everyone knows this is a mild razor. I have a beard with relative fine hair so I felt like this might be OK for me. I got it from a seller on eBay and decided I needed to try it out. I used a Voskhod blade. The shave reminded me of my multiple blade fusion razor. Highly unlikely to knick me or cut me but requiring multiple ATG passes to get a BBS shave, but no razor burn. So, after drinking a couple of IPAs that is a good thing because I don't have to be so vigilant about shaving. It puts the safety in "safety razor". Forget this if you have a wire haired beard but not so bad for guys like me. I love the Gillette butterfly. I have cut myself replacing blades in my Edwin Jagger.
