I shaved normally - one pass ATG, followed by more lather and touch-ups. I’ll add my voice to the chorus of positives on all four of the videos that reviewed this razor/head: This is a nice razor. It’s more aggressive/efficient with more blade feel than my Gillettes, but that efficiency gave me a BBS with far less effort than I need with my Gillettes. I could feel hints of irritation when I got lazy and stopped riding the cap, but with a thoughtful hand this razor offers very satisfying results. That said, I’ve never used Derby blades before, and since I had two variables in this shave, I have no idea how much of the aggression/efficiency can be attributed to the razor, and how much to the blade. I’ll use this blade in one of my Gillettes tomorrow, so then I’ll know. I want to try this Razorock with one of my Wilkinson blades and see how that changes this razor’s personality.
