6th SHAVE IN A ROW (which I haven't done since I worked for a living)

I have now used the Paradigm DB Ti for 6 consecutive shaves using a different blade each time and making some angle adjustments along the way.  I have found that the Nacet and the Gillette Swede work wonderfully in the razor.  The razor itself is an exceptional tool if used correctly.  I am still playing around with pressure and angle.  It is certainly a tool worth having in your den if you are looking for an exceptionally built and attractive razor.  The benefits extend to their being no overhang on the blade and the weight and balance are perfect.
