Wow.
I've been using a DE razor for 50 years and this one far surpasses the others I've had. There isn't much to using a DE razor, right?—or so I thought. I've only had mine a few days but the smoothness of the shaving and the easy flushing of beard bristles out of it are wonderful.The easy flushing is achieved by no supports blocking the sides of the razer blade, so water can pass by the blade unhindered.I read another review which described its operation backwards from what I have seen. The top comes off completely when a blade is changed, then the entire assembly is screwed in by using the knob on the bottom. There are numbers on the shaft that align with a divot in the handle that indicate the setting, so that when changing the blade, the setting can be easily restored.Note that when tightened totally, the setting indicator is at level 1 (or so, depending on the cleanliness of the blade and razor) and this provides the shallowest cutting angle—loosing the adjustment increases the setting number and the gap of the razer from the housing, allowing for a deeper cutting angle. The setting numbers go from one to five, with a "+" between the 5 and 1, indicating that you have reached the 6-10 settings on the second time around. When I first shaved with it, I did not set it properly, but it was still a great shave.
