I shaved with the .68 JAWS this morning. Normal prep, shower first, homemade preshave oil, MWF soap, VDH badger brush, fresh Astra SP, Nivea AFB for sensitive skin. It was a very good experience. The .68 JAWS was very smooth. ATG pass was great although I have found that to be true with all the GCs. Very comfortable, did 2 full passes with a third pass along my jaw line. No nics or weepers, no irritation. As for efficiency, well this is my first shave but I did not really notice any difference from my .84 JAWS, perhaps just a touch smoother. This was my first shave with the .68 JAWS but my initial impression is it is a keeper. I will use it for the next month or so daily (until my Yintal adjustable arrives from China). It is certainly not aggressive on my face. It felt like I was using a NEW LC. It never felt like it was going to bite. Next week I will try it with a Nacet. Thumbs up after one shave!
How is the blade feel on it? Lots, little, none?
How would you say the .68 JAWS compares to the standard SB .84?
I'm in Gallatin. My razor now sits in the Gallatin Post Office. It'll probably arrive tomorrow.So you are a middle Tennessen too. I received mine yesterday. I'm south of Nashville.
Here is the .68 JAWS on a Maggard's MR11 with blade loaded.

Thatsalotta blade! Would you say it’s closer to mild or aggressive?
Ouch! The new definition of (extreme) blade exposure.Here is the .68 JAWS...
