    Very nice.

    I find this razor to be a little bit “sticky” causing a bit of drag. The chrome plating on it is very nice and smooth. You would think this would help it slide across your skin easier, but I find the opposite to be true. If your face is a suction cup, a chrome plated razor is like a piece of glass, where a razor with a slightly rough surface would be like trying to stick a suction cup to cardboard. Anyway, enough pseudo-science for today. Have a good one!
