The black handle looks sexy but I got the silver variant of the Variant in case the black wore off. Maybe SSR will replace it with silver.
You do realize there is no 11? The dial setting is from 1 to 5. Going around again IS possible, but subject to fines including jail time. I know it was silly, but I actually read the instructions that came with it.After the 11 setting shave my face feels like a piece of hard rubber
Lol - luckily I'm in UK and British law allows you to go around twice on adjustables as long as it's not a public holiday...You do realize there is no 11? The dial setting is from 1 to 5.

...Second shave with the Variant last night - I was still closely shaven from the previous 11 setting shave but needed to be smart for work today so I dialled it down to 5+.

It might sound obvious but I'd never thought of using an adjustable like this before - dial it up for heavy growth and occasional shaving, dial it down for light growth and daily shaving.
Who knew?
And the face feel afterwards is simply superb, such a supremely comfortable and very very efficient shave from a razor which feels great in the hand and can be adjusted up to the 2011 R41 ultraviolet zone or down to the red end R89 region.
This is definitely a new classic and instantly one of my all time fave DEs, quite as good as the Eclipse Red Ring and Old Type Big Fellow.
