Post offices in Wales are open on Sundays? The luxury! We dream about that here in London...

Yes main sorting office 12-4 on a Sunday! I'm delaying my much needed shave until I can get this beauty!

And after you've finished with that you sign up for the Neo-Gam pass around. What a corker! (And the Bigelow-Parkin, but that is optional)

Just picked it up what a beaut! Going to have its maiden voyage this afternoon.

Martin, you are a generous man! However I finally have my very own beloved PILS and I echo the the sentiments of a few of the folks here ..a really fantastic razor. Looks great, shaves great...is great. Hope those who have it enjoy!

Thanks for letting us know, as Royal Mail's real-time tracking system still shows the parcel at the delivery office

First run out last night, initial impressions are I love the head heavy weight/balance. Fit and finish are superb. Barely felt the blade going WTG & XTG, but struggled to get the angle right going ATG.

Overall left nice and smooth with one weeper.

Omp · Monday November 23, 2015

Would it be ok to move to the back of the queue on this one please. Not quite ready to receive it yet. Thanks.

Second shave:

Holiday setup, NF Tubby 1, Dr Harris Windsor Cream. Again effortless shave, the heavy head does all the work. Couldn't really feel the blade but it mows down a couple days growth no problem. Still struggling going ATG with two small weepers

It looks like I'm going to end up with both the Feather and the PILS at the same time... They seem to have caught each other up!

So if its OK, it is probably best that me and Stacy555 switch places.

Last shave with it today, sent @Stacy555 a message for his address.

Stacy555 · Monday November 30, 2015

Address sent, looking forward to this.

On its way Special Delivery.

Final shave with it today, I've got to admit it is a thing of beauty and the balance is fantastic for me, you would think the handle would be slippery when wet but it's perfect. Sorely tempted if one came up the right price, it's perhaps just a tad aggressive for me in places but what a bit of kit. Thanks @Nico1970 for an opportunity to try this razor out, I'm not sure I would've had the chance otherwise.
