Elbrus

Sometime in February / March 2023 the Elbrus was released. We couldn't pay for it because all payment gateways were closed.
In August 2023 a gateway opened and I managed to get the order in and just over three weeks and a few tense moments later my Elbrus arrived.
I chose the "Combo" which is a satin/polished razor and WOW does it look AWESOME...
As you can see, its like a SuperSlant.

How does it shave?
I was wondering what the fuss was all about after my first shave! After shave 3, I can confirm that the next two got better each time
I find that up to about 4, its very angle specific. If I don't get that right, I'm left with short stubble - great for a weekend.
If I want to end up BBS smooth, I need to keep it fairly open, use a relatively light touch and take my time and I'll get there in two easy passes. Mine overclocks to 3(9).
