    Default Cobra Classic SE Tour

    While this tour has not garnered the same interest as texbilly's four-razor JORIS extravaganza - I should have known his generosity would top his Feather tour - tomorrow I will be kicking off the Cobra Classic Tour for those of you that expressed interest. As the inspiration for the tour texbilly will be the first recipient. The itinerary is as follows:

    texbilly
    sluggo
    michiganlover
    garyg
    scottb
    bullgoose
    noahpictures
    htownmmm
    norton
    agbill
    Sullybob
    Big W
    TheVez2

    Since texbilly's DEs have spent many a season on the road, I hope he will not mind if I adopt his rulz as the guideline for this tour...though as Bill suggested it is really about keeping it gentlemanly. As the current rotation is rather short I would invite members to keep the razor for a full week before passing it on to the next member. As noted in the photos below I will be including the proprietary Feather Professional blades. In my experience these blades can sometimes last in upwards of 10 shaves so each member will likely only need a single blade, but use as you deem necessary. Finally, I would invite other members that are interested to contact me, and I will try to fit you into the rotation.

    Enjoy!

    Nice Michael.
    I would like to add that palmstropping adds life to these blades, so if you give it a few swipes before and after your shaves with this razor the blades will last that much longer.

    Thanks, Bong. I am a bit embarrassed to admit I have never done this! Maybe I could have gotten 20 shaves out of those "old" blades.

    Names have been added, and the package has shipped. With any luck Bill will be able to shave with it this weekend.

    I think some guy custom makes them. I have only seen them for sale at classic shaving, so they probably have some sort of agreement.

    Michael, I can't wait!! As much as I love my DEs, I've been hankering to try something new and of course have been tempted for a long time while hearing you sing the Cobra's praises. Thanks so much for honoring me with the pole position!

    Is it too late to get in on this?

    I have been eyeing this baby off and on for a long time.

    Well, here is a bit of unforeseen good news, but given its source it really comes as no surprise.
    Bong has decided to add his Cobra Classic to the passaround - presuming he can find it - so those on the list can try the razor sooner.

    The group will be split in two, and will consist of the following. The lists also represent a slightly revised itinerary.

    Box 1 From Michael
    texbilly
    sullybob
    michiganlover
    norton
    agbill
    Big W
    TheVez2
    Den
    craig87c

    Box 2 From Bong
    -sluggo
    -garyg
    -scottb
    -bullgoose
    -noahpictures
    -htownmmm
    -Easttexasman
    -kingfisher

    Reserve List
    saliavin
    JeffBC
    jsj_297
    Doodi1
    shanman
    Haiku

    Thanks again for everyone's interest, and thanks to Bong for his generosity!

    Nicely done, Bong and Michael! You probably already figured it out but I can possibly hand the package to Shawn (sullybob) in person to cut down a day or two. Awesome tour!
