I've read this to be one of, if not the greatest double edge razor made to date, especially when combined with Feather HiStainless Platinum Coated blades. Great price too. Honestly, I've shaved electric for such a long time that I don't know if I should try a much less costly option first to get in the swing of the "old fashioned way" again. I really hope that this drop comes up again and frequently (preferably with metal box, along with options to include the stand!).
