Result:
4.5/5.0 Nice shave but kind of dicey to execute. I'm expanding how much I use the ACD-N as part of the shave and I was doing all the WTG and today was 2/3 ATG. Still need to work on the tough spots. This razor can give you 2 or 3 nicks and you wouldn't even know it until it was way too late. I learned that the hard way when I first started using it. I need to order some of the Super Pro Blades for tougher beards.
