Flyonline:
Thanks for the impetus to get my own JW, I actually ended up coincidentally getting the same model as the mob I ended up going with had it on sale. I also got a variety pack of blades to try, so it will be interesting to see how they all pan out - so far I prefer the Derby over the Merkur brand but I've got a few others to try as well.

No nicks, when I get it right it's a smother shave and I don't feel like I'm shelling out to the big corporations again  :OK  :OK  :OK Didn't realise how many options there are out there compared to the big three here (Gillette, Schick and Bic).

When I get a bit more time I plan on making up another KME style jig specifically for the blades and have a go at sharpening them as well.
