I got careless and accidently dropped my MM24. Prior to the drop the left side of the comb appeared to droop a little, but I ignored it sense I didn't think it affected my shave results. After the drop, the droop was significantly greater. Luckily, I have a jeweler's pliers, so after a little tweaking the droop was gone. I was concerned that my realignment effort would affect the shave, and it did... in a good way. Today was the smoothest shave I've had with the MM24! If the next couple of shaves are as smooth as this one, then I'll be able to take credit for improving my MM24's alignment.
The 507N has smelled quite acceptable so far. Not sure if I got lucky, or if Rumble is masking the funk. Here's the Day 3 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
