Excellent two-pass shave. No nicks, irritation, or A/S burn. This morning's shave was rushed, so I fully expected the shave to be spotty and to feel the burn of the A/S. Not so. So, after two shaves with my second '47 Aristocrat, I'm getting the great shaves I get from my first '47, but without any burning/stinging when using A/S.
