I'm surprised you went for that razor. Bechet's (TSR member) issues with his didn't make you pause and reconsider for a minute? It takes a difficult to source stainless blade, and only that blade. (Or the carbon version of that blade). It's basically a reboot of the original Gillette 'razors & blades' economic strategy. I don't buy the 'we looked for the best blade' marketing bs either. He saw an opportunity to pretty much corner the market on Valet style blades and took it.
Your highness @Queen of Blades and @richgem , @Rufus T. , @mrchick , @david of central florida , @Jasman , @wristwatchb ... I submit that this statement is a equivalent to a signed confession. This is in point of fact well above hoarder status. He mocks those of us who only have a pittance of toys-or cookies if you will. Always showing off and for many of us dangling the proverbial carrot that we will never aquire. Oh the agony those of us suffer. (Yeah, It is an awesome razor though.)
Nah seems like that was limited to a few razors. I mean I had to send my Mongoose in to be replaced - there can be issues with any razor. The 30 day MBG is also not bad. I'm curious to see how it will perform
Any updates? My Milord has been quite since hitting Kansas City, KS which, I hope, means it is quietly on its way to somewhere... hopefully, Trenton. JR
Same with my "eau de Guerlain." Update yesterday afternoon stated it left Anchorage. Maybe it's in Juneau... First Class... ... To be continued... Don
Wow that is one beautiful piece of work. I am very tempted... isn't the rule for razors similar to that of bikes? Where Y is the proper # of razors to own and X is the current number of razors owned... Y=X+1
I have a Cobra Classic and the King Cobra and they're terrific. I wish those guys would get their act together and figure out their production problems so all the folks who wanted one could have one.
Down to just waiting for three things and - believe it or not - not even watching any auctions right now. Maybe I'm getting picky Waiting on Two New Forest brushes from the UK OneBlade razor and 30 blades Vintage Sta-Fast brush C'est tout.
