Very nice review indeed and thank you for sharing.
I was on the fence for expressing interest for one few weeks back (when Paul asked any willing-to-buy members to PM him), considered a PILS as well (because at that price you have to do that) but finally decided to get a few vintage razors first and try the concept. I thought the Feather All Stainless will probably still be available few months/years later (however so will the vintage ones!)
Most important characteristics for me are (a) the design, and (b) the fact it is reportedly a very mild shaver. Having just found the trick to reduce neck irritation after so many months of DE shaving though, I now worry less not having bought the All Stainless. Once you understand how important your skill is, you realize that the tool you're holding is affecting the end result much less that originally thought. I'll probably end up buying it sooner or later, have to admit though.
I agree that some decades later this will be a true classic sought after by our sons (or grandsons?) in the same way we now go after the Rockets or Aristocrats.
Shaving.ie reduced the razor's price last week, by 10 Euros; it's Eur 140 now if I am not mistaken. This is of course for the one in the wooden box, without the stainless steel base. Not sure if this price reduction indicates lack of demand by shavers this summer.
