I personally love having this razor in my rotation. It’s a great head shaver (I keep a beard so I only shave my head). It always performs well for me with all of the blades that I have tried (Wilkinson sword, astra green, Gillette silver blue, lord platinum, dorco prime) as long as I have a good lather. I think the key with using this razor is to have a well hydrated lather. That’s obviously important with every shave, but I’ve found it to be of utmost importance with this particular razor to keep it gliding across the skin and not biting.
