This was the best open blade shave I’ve had by a far margin! I managed to actually go ATG everywhere and get a mostly DFS in. I like the weight of this razor and the ability to use different grips on the handle to find the right angle. I’m sure the guarded blade has something to do with how easily I was able to shave. It didn’t feel like it was going to bite me if I “fuck up” like the Weck does. All in all I’m enjoying the challenge of learning this new technique.
