I really need to use it consistently for a week or two to see if I can dial it in.

Have you tried switching handles?  A heavier stainless steel handle may help.

I tried many heavier handles, but this razor just didn't work for me, at all.
As I have said, it is wonderfully machined and a very smooth shaver, but it didn't agree with me.
Not all razors work for everyone. Shy

I bought one just to see what all the fuss is about.

Very very loosely based on the 45. I used the 45 as inspiration but baby smooth design is different.

Just got my shipping notification for the Baby Smooth. Thank you.

Now it's time to move on to the Black Mamba! Do you know when they will be back in stock, handle type, color options?

You have zen discipline there my friend.

I actually went back to the site later in the night to buy one if they were still available. sadly, they were sold out.

I'll buy one when they come back in stock or put up a WTB ad in the bst..whichever comes first.

Gentlemen, please keep the subject on the razor and not on another forum where they may choose to do things in a different manner. Let's not have to close the discussion because of what happened elsewhere. Thanks.

Just when I thought I was out after settling on 3 great razors (1 DE, 1 SE, 1 DE slant) I get pulled back in. I was late to the party so maybe next time.

Dang...

Mine hasn't shipped yet.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the razor. Maybe some comparisons to other razors.
Shave yourself.
