I had one of these razors - and fucking loved it. So much in fact, that I set it free - and mailed it to a comrade I was trying to help out. I figured the inherent user-friendliness of the LORD would be ideal for purposes of conversion. I included a smattering of nice Egyptian, Russian, and Turkish blades. Well, it's been the better part of a year and the motherfucker still hasn't found the stones to even try the fucking thing. Are you kidding? So I was missing it, so much that I had to get a new one! Price is up a couple of bucks, but you get a pack of 5 Blue Bird blades as a bonus, so BFD!
It's pretty much my favorite DE because it works so well, and is super intuitive and safe - you can really go nuts, if you have some confidence! Additional plus and this is a big on for me is the sound - the LORD has awesome audible feedback which for me at least contributes greatly to the overall satisfaction and enjoyment of the shave. You will get the best deal (if you are CONUS) if you order from here:

I started a new job recently so have really been doing just a quickie shave in the morning, and believe it - this is the razor you want in your hands, so light, nimble and forgiving. The Gillette TTOs are heavy and crampy in comparison. The tolerances are great on the LORD - you just put a blade in and screw it together - no fiddling.
