The GOAT is scheduled to arrive Tuesday. I couldn't help myself, had to have one. I am participating in Vintage April so I won't try the GOAT until May. Looking forward to it.
This is what I ended up doing. Saved around 80 USD on the shipping + customs fees, give or take. Which was my main hiccup. A big thank you to @Watson, who sold it to me on the BST. Great chap.If you want to get it cheaper, then just wait a little longer when a lot of people buy one and then camp the BST section and get one for $50-$60 or less shipped. That's probably what I'm going to do, since I kinda want to try one with some of the more efficient plates, but on other hand I don't have such high hopes that this razor is going to put my top razors in shame. I suppose anything is possible, so who knows?
