Decent results. The razor bit me in a weird way, though. Usually a straight will bite parallel to the edge, usually as a result of accidental movement in that direction. This bite was a shallow slice perpendicular to the blade, in the direction of travel. At first I thought maybe it was the square toe that dug in a bit, but the location doesn’t make sense… A bit of a mystery.
Either way, happy with the shave! Closeness is good enough. The razor had a nice soft feel.
