I bowed out of the Pass around due to having one sent my way to try.
This razor is light. I'm use to heavy razors and heavy handles. I actually prefer a razor with some heft... sort of razors with some junk in the trunk.
The Vector is the Twiggy of the SE world.
I loaded it with a Proline razor. I find this blade to be smoother than the Feather Pros and since this is my first shave with this razor I decided to play it safe. You load the blade onto the tabs on the cap. The fit is tight as it takes a little pressure to get it to snap into place. One in and tightened up the blade is secure and spot on centered.
I lathered up with the TSC anniversary brush with the timerwolf knot (very nice brush!!!!). I whipped up the CBL Ghost Banana (Very nice soap, the label after getting wet though looks like Tammy Faye after she was caught in a rain storm.)
The first stroke was an eye opener. I was afraid of getting the wrong angle and slicing myself. This fear was utterly uncalled for. The razor just seemed to line itself up. The second and third stroke were no different. This is a simple razor to use and it is made for speed! It is so maneuverable and nimble. I found the more strokes I took the faster I went.
Not a nick, not a cut. I would place this as an aggressive razor but though it removes a nice amount of stubble per stroke it doesn't have much blade feel. It is just smooth and glides just effortlessly. This must be classed as efficient and effective and not so much aggressive.
Three passes were done in a flash. It took care of all the curves and nooks with ease. Even under my nose was a cinch. This it probably more information than you need to know but my stache goes right up into my nostrils and a lot of razors have a difficult time reaching this spot but not a problem the Vector (How is this for a run on sentence?)
I know this is just my first shave but I am impressed. If the next few shaves are like this one my RX is going up for sale to provide the funds for a Vector!
