Result: After all the spectacular DE shaves that all of you gentlemen have been posting, today I had my first ever DE shave (Grant, after I saw your 1st DE shave, it pushed me over the edge to clean this razor up as it's been on my bench for almost 6 months). I was amazed how easy these things are to use. No nicks, cuts, or irritation in 2 passes and quite smooth. I'll be packing this one in the carry on without blades for travel in case my checked bag with my straight is delayed or lost.

Thats exactly how I see them, surprisingly easy to use, I was a little scared before I started, and its going to make travelling a lot easier. They're fun to use too. Another acquisitions disorder

Great to see you in here Ben, gonna try to make an habit of it?

Been busy here at home but I have shaved twice with no post.

Both shaves were fine but yesterdays was spectacular due to the shave cream.
Bill sent me a small sample ofAcca Kappa. I used it last night for the first time. All I can say is fabulous. The cream was thick and over flowed the scuttle. The scent was sort of a sweet almond. I am partial to the almond scent and this shave cream was simply delightful.
I questioned the warden about it and she agreed that the scent was very nice. She encouraged me to buy more.

Bill, thanks again for the samples.

Thanks Grant! I couldn't stand to see them wasted when I realized that the razor they were on couldn't be restored. If a restorable Roberson comes along that is more worthy of them I may be forced to swap them again
