I actually tried it a while back. Well, what I tried was the version from Bombay Shaving Co. Apparently this razor is made either in India or China and so you will see clones come up every once in a while. It is an extremely mild shaver, which I guess Spider will like. Not as efficient as the Mamba though. My version came with two base plates, and I found myself using the medium base plate more because it was more efficient. Overall, it is a very solid, well made, and good looking razor, but a little on the mild side. Maybe about the same as the standard issue Merkur and Muhle razors.
