I finally got around to partially giving this razor a whirl last night to shave around my ears and line up my sideburns after my head shave.
as mentioned previously, with the non-lather port base plate, this razor is an absolute tank. if I recall correctly, it weighed in at 4.9oz on my scale.
I loaded a new personna med prep blade in. one thing I noticed is that I had issue getting the blade to go over both of the pins in the top cap..one went in fine but the other was a struggle. I eventually just put it together with the base plate and screwed the handle on and it was fine. I'm not sure if this is an 'issue' or just an oddity with the blade I was using...
Anyways, the handle was comfortable and I didn't notice any issues with the base plate not having lather ports, but then again I didn't do a full shave with the razor so that is hard to properly report on for now. I'm not sure if I like the look of the base plate without the lather ports cut into it - it just looks....weird and like a big block of metal that does nothing.
I like the engraving on the base plate and the bottom of the handle.
I'll report further when I do a shave over the next few days.
thanks again for sending it out for us to try,
Vlasta
