Love the photo!

How was the shave with the Tradere? I really wanted to do the pre-order but wanted to see some reviews before buying.

I posted some commentary in the Tradere thread with images however I liken it to a CG L2 SB. I used the supplied Personna, I was overwhelmed opening parcels and I always use a Feather to set the bar of a new razor. Tomorrow I will do just that. Found my angle immediately, my first pass both neck and face was done in less than 30 strokes. Second was only across grain with the usual detail by my lips and chin. The SB for ME is a 5 on the 1-10 aggressive scale. Middle of the road, will bite if I speed shave or pretend I know my way around it. Tomorrow will be the whole ceremony, yoghurt lather, proper blade, proper brush soaking, proper music. My old normal, lol.
