Beautifully written Shakespearian prose, good Sir.Oh! devious minds. Tom, wherefrom this distrust that despoils our beauteous lives?
Well said, Jay.
I'm sure mine won't be the last modern razor you will work on. Once your hair grows back and the night terrors subside, I'm looking forward to seeing what other projects you take on.@Purbeck I'm recovering from the ordeal ! I actually did a vintage razor straight after I finished and it restored my faith in humanity again - it was SO easy in comparison and completed within 3 hours !
Best wishes,
Jay

Totally agree Dave .... brass is a fantastic material ! To be fair I don't think there is any question about the makers being reluctant to disclose the material .... I think it's just that from what I understand, there aren't as many of the Cobras out there when compared with the classics - and they are fairly new. For old style razors, most people have discovered what is brass, which sections are pot metal etc simply through watching the razors lose their plating over the years. I guess not many people will have stripped a Cobra down to discover what it is underneath - and there isn't any mention online. Therefore everything was trial and error !Seems strange that the makers would be so reluctant to disclose the material. Brass isn't a shameful material to use.
There's no hair there LOL..... lost it when I was 16 .... so if it comes back then I have definately been getting too many chemicals on my hands. In fairness, I bought that many chemicals for the Cobra that I am seriously worried that the government will think that I am building something dark and sinister in my house! It wasn't me - I didn't do it !!I'm sure mine won't be the last modern razor you will work on. Once your hair grows back and the night terrors subside, I'm looking forward to seeing what other projects you take on.
Gold has natural benefits to the skin. It works as an anti inflammatory and reduces irritation. Whether Razors are on the skin long enough for any benefit is debatable but the science is there and has been for thousands of years. Copper and brass also have proven benefits.I have deep respect and admiration for the work you did on the @Purbeck 's Cobra.
And that New.. Wow, just wow.
I get the aesthetics and how that enhances the delight
Likewise, I know if my Laurel was smooth on both sides of head it would be so much better...
That said, a question for the house which may not belong in thread (sorry if so): Replating the head and base plate - will doing that enhance the result of the shave?
Still wow.
