Having some time to take a closer look and install a blade I’m even more impressed with the build. There were a couple very small sharp areas of what I’d call flash (3D printing might have a different name for this, but I’d call it flash on any other injection type plastic shaping) on one side of the head and the very bottom of the handle. I’m guessing those are both areas that sat on the table (plate maybe? What ever the technical term is for the surface the printing happens on). A light touch up with a 4 sided foam backed soft nail file I keep on hand for other “manly” projects (don’t judge me, I can feel you judging me) took care of the excess material with just a couple swipes. All surfaces that touch skin are now silky smooth and should work out well. I was a little worried about the little humps just before the tiny slot areas where the blade stops are, however the blade went in without hassle and now I’m thinking that was a part of the design to help keep the blade secure in place. From this first install and removal of the blade I’m thinking there should be very little, if any, issue with the edge cutting in and damaging the plastic. The humps seem to put pressure up on the sides of the blade, just off the edge so the edge doesn’t press in to the material. I’m absolutely amazed at the ease which the blade went in and came out. Very smooth and intuitive to install and so far feels extremely secure. Blade exposure looks to be very even across the entire width, no noticeable variation the the length, height, or angle of the teeth. It’s also a bit heavier than I first thought it would be, which is good. I’m looking forward to using it for a shave tomorrow!
