First shave with the Leresche #77 after having had it lying around on a shelf for months begging to be cleaned.

Now, the Leresche #77 is one of 'those razors' that are rumored to be one of the best designed razors out there and fetch a rather high price when they come up for sale.
I got mine for a very fair price but I think my expectations were set pretty high this morning..
I didn't shave yesterday so had a fair bit of stubble to be taken care of.

Very first impressions during the first pass (WTG): Milder than I thought it would be. Handle is too short [for me].
A couple of minutes later: Man, this thing is mild but VERY efficient. Love the feel of the head. I do wish the handle was longer.

Second pass: There was none... After my first pass I felt my face...and I felt it again..I was perfectly clean shaven. Not even any stubble under my chin which is my normal problem area.

Can this razor really be this efficient and if so why in the world wasn't this head design replicated?
I will use it again this week to see if today was just a fluke/anomaly or if there actually is something to this razor's reputation.

Now if I only could add 20mm or so to the handle....
