As noted in another SE forum post, earlier this month I came to possess one of Classic Shaving's new King Cobra Classic razors. Being afforded the opportunity to try this razor never would have happened without the members of B&B and, therefore, I would like to give back and share this razor with the community. Following is the list of members I have compiled thus far based on PMs of interest. Please see below the list if you have interest in participating in the pass-around.

General requirements for tour participation
To start I am offering the opportunity to try the razor to members that, like myself, own and enjoy the Cobra Classic or participated in the original Cobra Classic SE Tour (which is ongoing). B&B members in "good standing" are also welcome to send me a PM regarding participating in the tour. I would suggest active and good standing infers you have been around B&B for at least a few months and are participating in the community. If you do not qualify today but have interest, you may become eligible as the tour unfolds...so please feel free to send me a message and I can add you to the "reserve" list.
Following are the rules I have once again borrowed from our good friend Texbilly. (As Bill's tour was for a Joris I have taken liberties in editing to reference the King.) I hope he will not mind as he did such a great job summarizing them.
------------------------------------
Gents, nothing but a bit of common courtesy here, meant to keep the tour fair, fun and safe.
1. Please limit your time with the gear no more than 7 days. This should be enough time for some quality shaves and impressions. Sure, there will be exceptions and if you know ahead of time your schedule will be limited (e.g., vacation, job constraints, travel), let me know so we can adjust the order and keep the momentum going.
2. At the start of the tour the package will include the King Cobra Classic and nothing else. The expectation is that members owning a Cobra Classic will use their blades. When the tour transitions to members that do not own a razor using the Feather or Kai blades I will release a couple 20-packs out into the wild.
3. I am shipping the razors clean and sterilized. Please do the same before handing it off to the next member. Soapy hot water, Barbicide and Scrubbing Bubbles are good. Boiling water baths, bleach, etc. are bad.
4. Please carefully wrap and ship the package. It will be shipping in a small Priority Mail flat rate box, which costs about $6. Due to the value of the razor I would like to request participants also be willing to insure the package up to $240, which I believe may take the cost of participation up to about $10.
5. Please post in this thread when you receive the razor and when it ships. Please PM me if you have questions.
6. Please post reviews and impressions, good or bad, to share with your fellow B&B members. This is what the tour is all about.
7. Have fun!
