My wife got this for my birthday last month
The Bluebeards Revenge ?Privateer Collection? Double Edge Razor Gift Set (Gift Boxed) | The Bluebeards Revenge
Plus a variety pack of blades from EBay between persona and feathers (blades) I am still astonished after each shave how smooth it is!
Certainly takes longer, for real, about 20 minutes, so I only use it about twice a week and suffer through with my electric on the other days. My DE shave is close that the next day after is still as good as fours hours after I would have used the electric. And cartridges ...... geez over a dollar a piece - never again
Speed comes with practice. If I'm in a hurry, I can get a quite decent 2 pass shave in in 5 minutes start to finish.
