I have one I just traded for and its too big for me. I don't like the 8/8 blade as much as I thought I would. I'll be finding a new home for mine.

Either way look at his cheeks just below and around his sideburns. I would never leave the house half shaven and spotty like that. What an aweful job. thats a DPS(Damn poor Shave) in my book. I shaved better when I was 12.

I have Escher,Thuri,Coticule,Charnley Forest,Blah bla bla and the edges produced are not much better than a naniwa ss12k or a Chosera 10k. I'm sure the Shaptons are capable of wonderful edges when you learn them. Make sure you have some crox on some sort of strop as the edge may be a little too shar...

I have a razoe with the same symptoms you describe. Mine is warped right at the edge so there is an almost unnoticeable roll of the bevel.
