Just arrived. Wow!

I shave and handle many razors, I have seen lots of Wolfman razors and own few! This is the first razor I have seen that matches Jame's stunning finishes. This razor looks spectacular in every way. Zero scratches anywhere!

I knew you would love that one!! Wait til you shave with it! It’s a stunner on all fronts and rawfox1 gets all the credit for turning me on to this one and the Alpha Shaving Titanium Brush.

Tatara Nodachi/H&S N075-SS, BIC.

The weight and polish of the H&S gives it a much different feel from the Nodachi. A bit smoother, the Nodachi might have a slight edge in efficiency.

Just finished the first shave. I loved the Paradigm 17-4 for it's near lack of blade feel and efficiency, I also liked the Raw RS-10 very much for the same traits. This razor has a similar feel to those, but has the least blade feel I have ever experienced from a safety razor! I personally believe this is the way to get DE smoother. It's greatly smoother and more efficient that those I mentioned.

I have to say this has been the most 'surprising' razor I've used - My favorite razor is the RS-10 - wonderful combination of smoothness and efficiency, especially with the option of 2 plates. I picked up the H&S razor and actually had to check to see if I had put a blade in it (I had!) - very little blade feel - very smooth and surprisingly efficient given that. I find the handle just a little short for me (3.25") and just a bit slippery, but the razor is my pleasant surprise of the month Smile

Checking if the blade is in is spot on Smile 

I remember when the 17-4 came out, some people would get face burn, due to not being able ease-up on the pressure since the razor doesn't have blade feel. The H&S has even less blade feel. I put a longer Wolfman Ti Handle on the razor. The weight dropped to 90g (from 111g). The razor now has wonderful evenly distributed weight. Tomorrow's shave should be even better.

Blackland Dart handle similarly adds a few mm in length and balances beautifully.[Image: 3826ab3593edb291f777ca1d74e72550.jpg]

After all of your positive comments, I have ordered N075, but USPS mistakenly delivered my razor to wrong address.
Unfortunately, I could not find my razor and opened a case with USPS.
I also emailed to Aji about the situation, he replied my email almost instantly and
He did not hesitate and told me he is going to sent me a new razor.
Haircut & Shave Co. has a very good service, and Aji is a true gentleman.
Even I have not received my razor yet, I am pretty happy to order it.
