First shave with the bird, and it was love at first sight
Soon as I took opened the box I was in awe of its beauty, its mirror finish polish was quite impressive.. Once I picked it up and held it I knew I had made the right choice with the SS. The weight was perfect for me and it was very well balanced, the razor felt quite nimble in the hand... but the real test was to come with the shave.
First pass WTG was super smooth and boy was it efficient, this continued with the second pass XTG. The real test was to come with the ATG pass and OMG it was still super smooth, so smooth in fact I performed a second ATG without a problem.
You def feel the blade but not once did I feel like it was going to bite, mind you I was certainly paying attention.
I didnt expect my first shave to go this well.. no nicks, weepers or any hint of irritation and the splash went on without any sting, i was truly blown away!!
To summarize.. To me, he bird had the efficiency of the Muhle R41 with the smoothness of a DE89
