mmmmwaaahahahahahahaha!!!!sure, if i can figure it out Ill look at it this morning. The ol' mans on his way over for breakfast and a shaving lesson! I have almost the whole family converted now!!!!
Glad we talked you in to giving it a shot Otto! I am a huge fan and get great BBS shaves with in 2 or 3 passes with zero irritation. I still want to give the traditional straights a shot but I doubt the Sextoblade will ever leave my den.
Yeah, I am too! I can really see the appeal of these now. It's kind of a straight razor/safety razor hybrid, or a maintenance free straight razor. Pretty cool no matter how you choose to see it.
I got the goods today!
I suppose I should sterilize the thing? None of you guys have aids right? RIGHT!?
Anyway, I'll try and figure out how to work the thing and report back.
Okay first shave today.
YEOWCH!
It's sharp, I'll give it that, but not much more than my regular straight. It cuts smoothly, which is good and bad. The bad is that it's not giving you feedback when you're nicking yourself! I definitely need more practice with it. I got a couple of nicks that wouldn't go away without the styptic pencil. That's rare for me.
Overall, not bad. The guard only works on one side, am I correct? While switching hands I felt like I was using it wrong, so I just took the guard off. Surprisingly, I got more nicks with the guard on...
