Well I received the 2 components last night. I put it all together and shaved with it this morning. Working on 5 days of growth. I set it wide open. First past did a great job of reduction. You definitely have a lot of blade feel. It felt like it would bite you if not careful on the angle.
Second pass I dialed it all the way down. This delivered a very nice feel not too mild feeling. Messing with the angle of attack, I found that it has a bit of range. From cap flat to maybe 1/16 off. When the angle gets past that you know it.
Now I need to do some modifications as the slider has some side play. This causes the blade to be at an angle looking down at the top. Not a good thing for even Blade exposure. I need to get the slider net to its guide pocket. I will remake it next week.
I also am working on making it so you do not have to loosen the handle to adjust. This is a bit more difficult but I am making progress. If I can get it all sorted, I will make an extra one for a pass around to get some honest feedback.
