    My love affair with the Cobra is going strong. It traveled to Disney World with me and back home again. It has seen daily use since I got it in the mail. I think I'll use a different razor when this blade is done but the Cobra will have a steady part in my rotation.

    Just ordered mine. Can't wait. What do you all think of the pro guard blades? I already have some unguarded blades but the razor comes with pro guards I believe.

    I don't care for the pro guards, never tried them in my Cobra but did use one in a Feather AC. When I ordered my Cobra a couple of weeks ago, I called and asked if they would substitute the Pro's for the guards And it was no problem. I didn't want to be stuck with another pack of those things.

    Pro guards were fine for me gave a bbs no irritation. Good for getting the feel of it. YMMV

    I am really trying not to pull the trigger on one of these. Although I gave never tried it, I guess if I don't like it, I coud sell on B/S/T, but I have a feeling that I am going to fall in love.

    Don't forget that you can also use Captain Kai Mild blades in the Cobra. They're not quite as sharp but are the smoothest blade I've ever used in any razor.

    The CC was my first wet shaving purchase over $100, and it's worth every single shiny penny.

    I've used the Kai Mild blades in the Cobra and they are my favorite blades to use. I've also used the Feather Pro Guard blades, I didn't care for them, the wire wrapping feels strange on my face.

    Love it! By far my favorite razor. Shaved this morning with TOBS sandalwood cream. This thing is smooth! Two pass near bbs.
    Im actually thinking of selling off some de razors to buy another cobra just because I never want to be without this razor. I thought it would be great but it's beyond great.

    I was fortunate enough to get a Cobra Classic on loan from Osborn Cox (Bob), all I can say is WOW. It is unlike anything I have felt before, very heavy, very solid construction, possible the nicest fit and finish razor I have had the privilege to handle.

    Now off for the shave!!!
