The Purple Wabbit has landed. It is almost half the mass as the Black Wabbit. I have already loaded it with a Personna blade and taken the picture for tomorrow's Tabac Tuesday shave. The Veg will make an appearance.
It is a nice looking razor. The first thing I noticed was its weight. Very light. A nickel is 5g and the Wabbit is 8g. I'll be back with a full report in the morning.
Here it is. The Purple Wabbit has beefier holes and it is easier to remove and replace the head. This was a very successful shave. The razor handles well. It was easy to get the right angle, and I love the feedback.

Williams Wednesday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Williams Mug Soap 3D Printed Brush Purple Wabbit Personna injector CWR Pinaud Clubman Vegetal This was shave #2 with the Purple Wabbit. The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Purple Wabbit razor with a Personna injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. My only real issue with this razor is the angle of the head. When shaving my neck the handle almost wants to bump my chest. Raising the angle about 12-15 degrees would really help avoid that first world problem. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman Vegetal. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... I am going to keep the Purple Wabbit. Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler I will keep it for one more shave. Then I will send it on to @Karl G.
Little purple wabbit hopping through your lather.... stalking wittle whiskers and lopping off their heads.
This was my last shave with the Purple Wabbit. It did a fine job as usual. I am sending it along with the Black Wabbit to @Karl G. Thanks again @twhite for this testing pass around. I think you are on to something here. Here is the updated list.

The black and purple Wabbits have arrived (along with some thoughtful extras from @Jayaruh.) Of course, the first thing I had to do was have a family get together for all the Tom Creations in the den at the moment. I learned my lesson from the TARs visit, though, and will lock up the liquor cabinet tonight
Nice family picture. Here is the updated list.

Nothing but Cwickets on my end. I forgot to pack the Wabbits when I left on a trip. I even had a package prepared to send them on when done. Nope, not happening. The Wabbits are sitting lonely back home as I forgot to put them in the suitcase - so I’ll be radio silent for a short while. I will get a shave in before sending them on to @Terry
