Dave in KY's Videos and Hangout

Hey Dave I am using the Schick blades in mine. Just need to take a snip on each end of them with snips. A 1/32 sliver.

Thanks for the tip Ken and I may do that after I get through some of my feathers that I have. I was very surprised at how nice the shave was today with the Pro.

Wrapping up a week of Williams that I started last Monday and it was a joy of a week. No real appreciable dent in the tub but we aren't worried about trying to finish it just to start another. Last shave with the Alpha Bandit before sending on to the next contestant. The packaging provides a nice presentation of the razor. I used all 3 plates and they were all enjoyable shaves. This could easily be a daily driver or used to take care of multiple days growth. It is not overly aggressive and yet efficient enough for a glass smooth finish. The pinch point for the blade is further back giving it some blade flex/chatter which is something I don't care much for but that's just me. The pegs holding the blade are too big so as to be able to get the blade on with out forcing it and then needing to pry off while trying not to cut yourself. Those are the only 2 knocks I give it. It was a pleasure to use and I'm sure many will be sold. I thank Andrew and Steve for doing the pass around and best wishes on the Sales Steve ! Cleaned, Boxed up and mailing out to draebeard on Monday morning. Have a great day Everyone !

1st use of the Raptor and it was a great comfortable shave that gave a glass smooth finish. I believe this razor had the Henckels as inspiration for the design. It's crazy a plastic razor can give such an incredible shave but they do when designed well and this one is. Long day today but warmer. Went from 60's for a high to Sat being a high of 27 and Sunday back to the 50's. Thursday will see 70's so we're on an upswing. Have a great day Everyone !
