This was a superlative shave. Stirling's sheep tallow base is excellent, and I pretty much always get a close shave with the MMOC. I'm tempted to use this razor for AA but have concerns about packing it on my bike for a couple of weeks. Seems like a three piece would work better for that, we'll see.

The mmoc is quite sturdy. I wouldn't worry about it in my bike bags
