HOLY COW! This razor is not for the weak and feeble. This is HEAVY!!! Did I shave with a razor or a sledgehammer?

While shaving I kept asking myself is this thing too heavy? Then while rinsing after the first pass I realized I am at nearly BBS. Now you all should know I love my General in fact I want another one just to have in case something ever happens to the one I own. I would love a stainless steel one honestly. However even with my dislike of the brass finish I might need to look for one of these. The shave was so smooth and delivered excellent results!

Nicely done Chad

It really is a heck of a shaver. So smooth and yet deceptively efficient. I think the weight does help in providing a close and irritation free shave. Blade feel is minimal but, it is cutting and the results prove it for most. With a Pro Super it balances blade feel and smoothness that is almost perfection. I haven't shaved with mine in a while but, I would dare to say that it's even smoother than the Paradigm Ti SE with the Pro Sup's. Don't quote me on it but, I'm going from my last recollection of it. I think a side by side is in order.....

Great first impression Chad! Always happy to enable wanton desires whenever I can! I lucked out on the bay, so that might be your best bet...of course BST's as well.

Great video Chad! Glad you enjoyed the razor, though I understand the material is not for everyone since it does tarnish over time if not consistently cleaned and polished. I'll probably be taking some Brasso and the dremel to it when it gets back home....same with the Timeless Bronze.

Is it too late to join? I hope not. Let me know if I can partake. Always wanted to see how the brass handles compared to the aluminum.

Okay, I wasn't going to join in because I love my Generation 1 aluminum General. It is one of my top 5 SEs. But, curiosity is getting the better of me. I am in for the Timeless pass around, so I would like to join this one also.

Received the General Today. I’ll be comparing it to my Mongoose. Looks and feels similar.
