: Once again a change at the top! The Shark is
: incredibly smooth. After the first stroke, I
: had to check to make sure I'd put the blade
: in. I actually DID forget once. Then I
: double checked the setting. I just could not
: feel an edge at all! Even at the lowest
: setting, I got a superior shave. They just
: got closer as I turned it up. I rated the
: best a 3.0. Higher than that and the
: improvements weren't as great and I did get
: some weepers. Even at the highest settings
: (up to 4.0) I did not feel the edge at all.
: Also NO irritation. Even when I was in a
: hurry, taking shortcuts. I expected some
: reddening on my neck and mustache area, but
: none.
:
: This is by far the best blade I've tested so
: far. These Egyptian blades are simply
: outstanding. They have (over)filled the top
: of the ratings.
