After working my way into it with a few partial shaves (just sideburns, both hands, then sideburns and cheeks, etc.) finally attempted my first mostly full shave today. The result - just as smooth as a DE shave, if not better, with no real irritation to speak of (although there is a tingling sensation). I'm still a little chicken to tackle my mouth/chin, so I did that with my red tip. But other than a tiny nick where I got careless on the edge of my neck, I think I call this a total win. Damn those blades are sharp.
