Colonial The General SS. I'm quite excited about this as I love The General Black and having seen many favourable reviews/write-ups here on the AS version.
Looking at the Colonial Razors website no razors left in stock.

A pair of Big John Rare R008 15.5oz raw denim Japanese selvedge, indigo rope dyed jeans. This dungaree is a work-wear type that was typically worn by workmen who used their hands for a living, and not to be confused with the super skinny style jean, sometimes worn by those who have no visible means if income. This is my second pair, and could be the start of another of one of my pursuits.
The raw denim forums tell me when breaking them in they shouldn't be washed for 6 months to produce the best fade. Fade pictures are regularly published by denim-heads (sort of like Show Us Your Boars). At the risk of sacrificing good fade, mine will be washed on a more normal basis and please don't expect pictures of fade progress. At my age I can only hope for a perfect 2 year fade image.
This hobby doesn't seem to be one for someone on a tight budget. Somewhere between stamp collecting and maybe owning a Harley Davidson.
Interesting enough, the last denim mill in the United States, Cone Mills, closed on December 31, 2017. This mill former made denim for Levis.
