Very nice shave last night. Very smooth and took down about four days growth effortlessly with almost no irritation. Sixteen hours later and I am just now starting to feel bits of stubble coming back very nice. Used an Astra blade this time might try a feather next. Thanks for the chance to try this out!!

it looks like this pass around is wrapped up and both razors are heading my way. once I get them, I'll give it a whirl and share my thoughts....both razors will be auctioned off, eventually.
thanks again to Vlasta for sending us gear to try out!

I had a shave in with the alpha razor last week, I plan on using it 1-2 more times as well before listing it up for auction.
the handle is quite heavy....the entire razor itself is probably heavier than any other SS razor in my den. I'll throw it on the scale later tonight with a few other razors just to compare numbers...
that said, I'm a fan of the matte looking finish on the handle. the head with its polished finish shows some scratches from use in the pass around. this is one of the reasons I'm not a fan of polished razors - I can't be "bothered" by the scratches.
the shave itself was pretty good! I'd call this a medium aggressive shaver with low blade feel with a good bit of audible feedback if I recall correctly.
I'll report more after my next shave.
thanks for letting us try the razor, Vlasta.
