Last shave before AA. Three passes, no irritation. Blade felt duller than usual. Probably from being carried on a bike.

No, I had a hard time getting that to work with my MMOC.

When you say you need to manually line up the tabs, what do you mean exactly?

Mine is a first-gen MMOC, if that makes a difference.
