A quick update gents on my early experience with the Merkur Vision 2000 razor. I will get this out of the way first....
Greatest, hands down, no doubt about it, end of discussion, enough said, period... DE Shave I have ever had in my limited time with DE razors. If the shaving gods had a DE razor, this would be it. It's a big, big razor. And it has some real weight and beefiness. I set it at its most aggressive setting, right on N, and with a light touch and no pressure it proceeded to slice and dice my whiskers. 2 passes, touch up and done. No irritation, 2 tiny weepers and the biggest grin on my face since I purchased my very first car. Amazing, amazing shave. But, if this razor is not used with care, meat grinder and fillet time. Trust me the first few minutes were a little disconcerting until I got the right angle and started to get comfortable with it. Truly, a wonderful shave and magnificent tool. Included a pic just so you can see the blade gap....
Ferocious gap. Not the best picture, but just to give you an idea what this monster is capable of..
All I can say is, to those who haven't tried one you're missing out on one phenomenal tool. And to those who have, congrats! This thing is awesome...
Merkur Vision 2000 have an equal?
