This was my first shave with the Kai Kasho Woody. I liked that I didn't have to change my normal straight razor angle. I liked that I could use this razor in a kamisori mode going diagonal NE-SW in the right upper cheek area without fear of insertion weepers. I was impressed that I could do the touch ups with this razor instead of having to switch to an injector or DE razor. This was probably the closest, most comfortable AC barber razor shave I have ever had. I had a few nicks and some razor burn, but for a first shave with a new barber razor, I was very impressed. I look forward to more shaves with this razor.

This was my second shave with the Kai Kasho Woody. No nicks. It was a good shave.

This was a quick two-pass shave due to very tight time constraints - 1st pass with the Tedalus Essence; 2nd pass with the Alpha Spirit.  This was my first shave in a while with the Tedalus.  It never grows old!  Although not a shavette, I feel props are also due to the Alpha Spirit.  I'm lovin' it more with every use.
