I'm 2 shaves in, heading for my 3rd tonight.
So far I'm really enjoying this little razor. It was a little awkward at first getting used to the angle, as you're using thumb and forefinger parallel to the cutting edge it means twisting your wrist around more than you would holding the handle of a razor. Or at least more than I currently do. This was especially noticeable at the bottom of my jaw near my right ear where to go WTG I'm going almost horizontal under my ear. Although thinking about it now, if I try backhand rather than forehand it might be easier, one to try tonight!
It's a relatively aggressive razor, but no more than any other, I just take my time.
I really like how neat and compact it is. At first I sort of thought what was the point as a razor isn't that big anyway, but seeing it folded up on my cabinet shelf it's tiny! I could definitely see the use, especially if it came with it's original leather case.
To sum up, it's a wonderful quirky razor that's enjoyable to use and makes me smile whenever i see it. Thank you so much for the pass around as I'd never have even known it existed otherwise.
I'll continue to use it this week and then pass it back or forwards if there's anyone else Andreas?

Happy to join the queue to support this if it is still open.

I don't know if this will help but I found it easier to move my head on the horizontal strokes e.g. xtg top lip.

It did come with a leather case, but that's a little bit fragile, to say it politely. So I didn't pass that around.
