Thanks. I am a bit bummed about the Bunny. Although when I first made it. I had no plans of making any others than the first one.
It was a great experience that I would not change one thing.
This SE was fun to do. I hope to make 2 more and do a small pass around. No telling when I can get around to it. Work is very busy lately.

I just reread this entire thread. I am now ready to have my first shave with Igor. Heading off to bed now. I will probably be shaving in my sleep. Good night all.

Like Fuzzy said! Awesome, simply awesome! The video is great but of course we want to read your full shave report.... Observations: 1. Because of the hump, it looks heavier than it really is. The weight is just right. 2. Handle length is not an issue. It is "fatter" than most which makes it look shorter, but the razor is actually the same length as my 1912. The extra girth gives the handle a great feel. I see no need for extra grip on the handle. There was no issue with slipperiness. 3. The blade loads easily. Although, after I shaved and cleaned the razor and blade, I was going to put the blade back in. I didn't have my glasses on and I tried to put it in backwards. That did not work. After I realized my mistake, I turned it around and it loaded easily. 4. The hump is a great guide for finding the right angle. My shave was very smooth. 5. Adjustment. This razor is designed to make the Blade slide forwards and back. What is changing is the exposure of the Blade. Exposure is how much the Blade is sticking out past the 2 points of contact on your face. The Blade gap is how much the distance is between the Blade and lower bar. Increased gap in the case of Igor is a less aggressive shave. 6. Water retention seems to be the only complaint for me. I am glad Igor made it to me during SEptember. Thanks, Tom, for making this fun razor.

Sorry to hear that Fuzzy. The quote may actually be "What hump?" It has been more then a few minutes since I last watched that movie.
