Excellent, Matt!

Thank you, sir!

Wickedly sharp setup!

Thank you, ma'am!

Just love your accoutrements and your subtle refinements, Patti. Great razor.

[Accoutrements? Refinements? Uh . . . is he referring to *my* setup?]

The Type A is definitely a cool tool. Mine has no magazine/spring assembly and so I must load blade manually. But razor is otherwise in great shape and provides a fun shave.

Thanks, Ron!

Hey Ron, I notice you are using the green plate. Is that your favorite? I only have the yellow and blue and have been waiting for the restocking of the new ones.

Steve, the green plate was the first I used because I usually prefer OCs and I've never gotten around to using the purple plate. My first shave or so with it I found a bit aggressive but now it's settled down and I get a comfortable, very efficient shave.
