Nice write ups. Very helpful as I anticipate my turn in a couple weeks.For Day 2, I followed the suggestion to dial down to 2 from @ShavePastor.
He's right: just as smooth if not more so, and no loss in efficacy (well, maybe a tad in the tricky spots I mentioned).
Something else I'd like to mention is the size and shape of the cap.
I like how the blade tabs don't protrude at all...the cutting surface is really integrated well into the whole head.
I have to believe this also contributes to smoothness.
