Been 11 days since the razor was delivered... Any thoughts on how it shaved for you?

Sorry for my delay in posting my thoughts... crazy week.
I shaved twice with the razor last week, on Sunday with two days of growth and on Saturday with six days of growth.
First shave: Razor was incredibly smooth with little to no discernable blade feel. I had to do three full passes and a cleanup pass (as opposed to two passes with the 1 30 blade gap). The fully knurled handle was very good to use, but I think I liked the handle on the 1.30 razor just a bit more. In terms of longevity of the shave, I noticed regrowth after about 5 hours. I began to think that maybe I didn't hit a couple spots well enough.
Second shave: I didn't expect to wait this long for the second shave, but my week got away from me a bit. But I am glad I did throw the thicker growth at the razor. It took it down remarkably well. Considering it mild feel,, it was a good reminder that it's still very efficient. I paid extra close attention to the spots that I noticed regrowth the quickest after the first shave. This time, it was about 6-7 hours for regrowth to become noticeable.
General thoughts: If I was a daily shaver, this would be perfect! Since I don't shave daily, but every 2-3 days usually, I prefer a bit more efficiency. That is taking nothing away from this razor at all.
Thanks andrewjs18 and Aji for the opportunity to participate in this passaround!

I used this razor last night with a twice used personna med prep blade that I pulled from my era. as usual with titanium razors, I love the light weight. I would rate this razor as moderate aggression - I can just barely feel the blade without it being overly blade forward and aggressive. I heard a good bit of feedback as I was shaving, too. I love the full length knurling and the overall girth on the handle.
I plan on using this again next week to see how it does as a follow up and if my thoughts remain the same.
one thing I'll note. I'm pretty sure when I originally got this razor from Aji, it had a polishing cloth & 6-8 extra washers in the case with the razor. both the polishing cloth & all of the extra washers are missing. what happened with them?

What was in it when I got it, left with it. I have plenty of washers if you need some to put in there. My bet is they got lost and used as people took blades out to clean it. Let me know if you need some.

it's not a huge deal, I was more just wondering if I was remembering the packaging correctly when I first got it.
