The shave is fantastic, close, looks great.

Life changing because 10 years ago I went from easy shaving on baby soft perfect skin on my face to one marked with ingrown hairs and very oddly, no matter what razor, electric or disposable, I used, shaven hairs would get stuck back into pores and get infected 3-4 days out. Two dermatologist said to live with it and shave only once a week, so I got a Wahl clipper. After trying laser hair removal, what a waste of money!

I'll have to wait a few days to see how my face will respond, but based on the single edge and head design of the razor, I think I'm going to be good. It just feels right.

You should get a good aftershave balm, nothing fancy, Nivea or Neutrogena at the local supermarket.

Take it from a guy that sometimes has to shave twice a day...
