    Thanks Clint. Unfortunately I missed it by a couple of minutes. But, they will have stock next month. I'll jump on one then...:happy088:

    I managed to get my order in for the SS version. Will report back after a test drive.

    I missed the SS as well but picked up the black aluminium one and the SS handle. It should be here tomorrow. Once I get it I will be able to join the ranks of GROG. :cool:

    You won’t regret it... I love my alu General! By far ranks as the favorite of my rotation.

    Congrats. I'm still debating on picking up the Aluminum General. I love heavyweight razors, but the AG is tempting me. Looking forward to your review...

    This thread is making me want to seek out a General. I really enjoy SE razors. I have a RazoRock Black Hawk. Are there similarities between the Hawk and the General?

    Some of those SS Generals should start drifting in today. I ordered the Black General for my son (though I'll likely give it a try) and it got here today (CA). So I expect we'll start seeing reports soon.

    You'll likely hear reports on all sides of this question. I own both and, to me, the Brass General is a much better shaver. But I've read some claim the opposite. There are probably a lot of factors to consider like size, weight, balance, beard, etc

    Mine was delivered 5 min. ago along with an extra handle, to a friend in the U.S. It will be a while until I put it against my face.

    I came home hoping my new black aluminium would be here waiting on me. Alas no, I have to go to the Post Office to pick it up.

    I can't comment on the RR Black Hawk, but I do have the SS version DLC Hawk. The BG and the SS Hawk are both pretty good razors that have good weight and feel. I've used all types of blades in both razors, settling on the Feather Super for both. Very nice blade feel while still keeping an efficient quality to both razors. But I give the edge to the BG because it still stays smoother and the weight it has really helps me in getting a BBS shave almost everytime out. I really like my SS Hawk, but I love my BG......
