Have a great day!

... Very first use of the Schick J. I have a preference for short handles, but I appreciate when longer handles are well designed. This one is balanced perfectly, the ribbed handle feels secure, and guided me to a nice shave. ...

I find that to be true of my Henson AL13 and Schick/Eversharp K1 too.

Yes indeed on the Henson handle. The engineering on the Henson is a marvel to me.

I did enjoy my shave today. I did better with the Ti Crown handle today on the WR2 1.25. The Wolfman is easier to maneuver on the titanium handle. I will shave five more times with this configuration, and, then go back to the solid WRH2. I am hoping to do less damage and get a better feel for the head. I had 3 weepers, but, they were on my neck only. I got them from buffing ATG. I did my typical three pass plus touch up shave. My goatee area could be closer as always. Neck and cheeks are DFS+. Had I not had the weepers I would rate today 9.7.

Today was first use of the newly arrived razor. Wow what a fantastic shave.
