Just opened the package to my new razor. Here are my first impressions:
The razor feels very weighty indeed. It feels slightly heavier than my Sledgehammer. It has a nice polished finish without any dimples or blemishes (complete with a barber-pole type grip) and the butterfly doors open with a very nice positive action without any slop.
The grip feels very substantial and it feels unlikely to slip in your hand during shaving. On closer inspection the fit and finish seems very positive without any rattles or ill-fitting components and it seems built to last. The safety bars seem well-machined and are perfectly aligned at right angles.
A review will follow soon.
Jason.
