First time using a half-DE razor. If you thought a Feather DX was unforgiving, this bad boy is MORE demanding. I got micro cuts everywhere, but that's mostly my own fault.

When I took the time to REALLY pay attention to what I was doing (had to stick my face up to the mirror to get a really close look) the shaves were VERY smooth and stubble came off easily.

Depends on your technique.

Takes a half DE blade, doesn't get easier than that!

Depends on the blade you use!

Simple design is easy to take apart and clean out.

Got it for free (I don't think they sell this one anymore) so I can't complain!

The black "paint" is was already chipping off in key positions so I don't know how long it will last once the underlying metal is exposed. I would venture to guess that QC was an issue and that's why THB stopped selling this type of razor.

Nice presentation box.
