Who has the best price on the cobra now ? Also i see classicshavimg.com has it for $169.00 Come with 15 Pro Feather blades. Also at $169.00 is this Razor Staineless Steel? I would imagine so for that price ?

Great Review, and an honest one at that It should be coming to me after you send it to the next guy"Krato", Ive been curious about this razor, and also using the Titan H1 as my GoTo Razor, So far the Titan Has been Irreplaceable no other razor in my ShaveDen can Compare to it at all Even with just one pass that Titan is a BadBoy and gets the job done. I'm not a fan of Aggressive Razors at all or Open Combs, But the Titan has changed that as its aggressiveness doesn't affect me in anyway not even Redness, So i find that weird, Maybe its was made just for me .Wow, there is a ton of stuff in this box! The smell of the combined soaps hits you in the face when you open it up! Arrived yesterday and I had Shave #1 with it this morning. Skipped the multitude of soap and cream samples and went with the tried and true Vitos Extra Super from my den, lathered up with a Shavemac D01, and let it sit while I prepped the Cobra. Loaded in a fresh Feather blade from the pack provided. Had to fiddle with it a bit before I got the blade seated properly after closing the hinge, it kept slipping off the nubs slightly as I tried to close and lock it. Started into the first pass, trying to get the angle dialed in. Coming off the Titan H1 with it's very agressive blade exposure, I think I started a little too steep with the Cobra, causing a bit of irritation and a small nick with the first pass on my lower neck. Mellowed out the angle a bit for the second XTG pass, which went well. Decided to go all in and went ATG for a third pass with good results. Stayed off the lower neck due to the burn I could already feel from the previous two passes, but it went ATG on my upper lip, chin, jaw, and cheeks quite smoothly, with one small nick on the upper lip toward the corner of the mouth. Overall a great shave. The burn on my neck cooled down pretty quickly after alum and WH, and I grabbed the sample of 4711 AS to splash on. WHOA! FEEL THE BURN!!! Even after the alum took off some of the initial sting this stuff was wicked intense. I've used a sample of 4711 from Gary before and never did it feel like this. Crazy.
I must say, I like the feel of the wide but narrow head on this guy. Easy to manuver. It's weird using a SE though, as I kept wanting to flip it around and keep shaving but instead kept having to rinse it off over and over again. The grip felt good in most positions, except when it came time for the ATG on the neck chin area. Then my normal grip felt wonky as the handle was now backwards and upsidedown. The feather blade performed very well, will continue to use it for the next two shaves before trying out one of the Kai Milds to compare. Maybe next I'll experiment with some of the sample soaps.
Im Curious, Who funds such a pass around ?
Thats Awesome, Thanks for Everything in AdvanceMr. Wallet. Superbleu and I started this over a year ago with our Cobras and provided the blades. I may eventually bring her home, but there are at least a handful more that will get a turn...including you.
