Jim how do you like this AC razor? Thanks!

I really love the razor for a couple of reasons. First, it's a fancy version of the Shield titanium AC razor made for Boti Brush, which also distributes other Shield razors. I have two Shield razors, DE. AC standard DE and  both are very well made with great fit and finish. Performance wise, I put their AC razor between a RR V3 standard and the Alpha Claymore Evolution  -- smooth and efficient.

I also love the design of the Shield AC, no matter which of the three available handles it's fitted with. I think this fancy version made for Boti is just wild. I fell in love at first sight. Some manufacturers are beginning to offer anodized versions of their titanium razors, but Boti obviously went full out with this wild version. For me it works.

Hi Loot,

Thanks for asking! It's a nice piece of hardware, that's for sure! The craftsmanship is indeed spectacular and the attention to detail outstanding. I had some issues initially with the weight, never held a razor that heavy before, but in time I managed to get used to it. I shave daily, so I didn't use the higher settings( yet ), usually shave at setting 2-2.5 and it works just fine for me, no need to go higher for the moment. The shave is smooth and as comfortable as it gets. Definitely a keeper!

Cheers,

R.
