Thanks Russ! I already notched it down from 1.5 to 1 for tomorrow and I'll work my way up once my technique is refined a little. As I wrote, no razor burn, but I am *not* accustomed to nicking myself.
This thing seems to have the potential to do real damage, but I don't see the big deal about how blades are changed (once I figured out how to open the thing, nor do I envision changing settings in mid-shave so that complaint doesn't bother me.
