The Shark is still rough and tuggy with this razor. I'll likely switch things up for the next shave.
I did get better results, though, likely because I used Cremo shaving cream instead of body wash for my preshave soak in the shower. My beard was noticeably softer heading into the shave, and I have that nasty old-man stubble now!
My first shave with this razor was not great, the combination of base design with very poorly supported blade & lots of downward flex possible, + a very light weight that I am not used to, usually preferring hefty razors and stainless steel handles.
This morning, I was very carefully working on a one-day stubble, got full BBS with no irritation but had to really watch what I was doing.
This is a beautiful razor, if they redesigned the head with better blade support and perhaps dialed down aggression just a tiny bit, could be a winner.
Still, the 2nd shave was much better than the 1st one, so there's hope. Next time, will try it with a fresh Feather.
