Edit: The Weck with the Personna blade provided a very smooth shave. This is a great combination. Back in my army days, I would never have thought of turning it to my face. I shaved many a leg, arm, belly, and nether parts with a Weck. It is an excellent shaver.

When I was in the Army, I was an Operating Room Technician. Part of my duties was to prep patients for surgery by removing body hair with a straight razor. I found this one in eBay. It is just like the one I used in the Army. It has a caduceus on the handle. I watched it for quite a while. Then one day a 20% discount was offered, and I jumped on the deal. I also ordered a five pack of Personna Hair Shaper blades for it.
