I bought one for my Son-in-Law as it was released just before my grandaughter was born and I thought for him it would be a great momento of that great moment. For me personally I have found that I do not like such lightweight razors. I have used the alumigoose, ATT calypso, RR Hawk. Guerilla all in aluminum and find I do not get as good of a shave versus the SS counterpart, YMMV

I hear you about the aesthetics of the razor. Under the baseplate is where it belongs but I have found with PAA it is all about marketing. Did you see the video with him using a box cutter blade that looked like it had blood on it? I mean just get a new Gem blade if you are going to make a promotional video for a new razor. Maybe throw a few bucks to a hand model as well......

Now thats out of the way. I love the Fallout series of video games and all the promotional material he puts out can go right into that video game.

In fact that would be a great Fallout addon. You search for miscellaneous shaving gear.

To each his own BUT, I think this Razor looks Awesome! As far as weight goes I never had a problem with light Razors and hope the same stands true with this one. Mine should be here today!

Well, if anyone has one of the sets below the razor is theirs.


* Cyphre Rose Concerto
* Dance of Agrumes
* Black Blossom Bay

Sure it will work for some but for me I know it won't unseat my vintage Gems.

I sure did. I held off shaving knowing it was coming yesterday. Shaves in the pm. I was off work so that helped with not shaving in the morning.

You looking for a like new razor by chance

I know you are supposed to learn a razor but with that steep angle it won't work for me. The gems i have are so much more smooth.

I find it super aggressive and not that efficient. I mean I started with the beta plate and took it right off. Still had shadow after the shave. Not wanting to scrape my face i waited until this morning and used the same soap and blade and had a great gem bullet shave.
