I'd bet money that there's a corner of the Internet where grown men get very excited at the release of a whisky that's been notified to them in advance on a forum. They'll all be sat by their computers at the release time to buy.new whisky sells uncannily fast
IMO as interest in DE shaving increases, then prices increase out of proportion.
I can see it becoming like the boom in single malt Scotch Whisky, where many people now collect it and pay stupid prices, sometimes for new whiskies with little or no market exposure, with no intention of ever drinking it but rather to make a profit from it. This has unfortunately led to real devotees (I include myself) being unable to afford many of the latest offerings, and for the distilleries to rush new product to market, in many cases when it is inferior product.
Speaking from personal experience, the iKon Bulldog II, iKon OSS and ATT Bamboo handles all suit the General V2 head in terms of aesthetics and handling. @Tony'schin will back me with some of those recommendations. The Generals are great razors.Seeing this I don't think I'm too keen on the head design.
I will probably head over to Colonial and order one of theirs but they no longer have handles available so will need something matching.
I prefer the Ikon Bulldog to the original handle.Speaking from personal experience, the iKon Bulldog II, iKon OSS and ATT Bamboo handles all suit the General V2 head in terms of aesthetics and handling. @Tony'schin will back me with some of those recommendations. The Generals are great razors.

Yes Chris, although yours does have the newer V2 handle which is a little fancier.Oh so we are back to that one again. I have told you before 'I like it, I like it, I like it'

Yours is definitely the newer design. I've used both yours and Tony's handles. Your version works very well and is easy on the eye. The original version (Tony's) had a tendency to slip through my fingers and it lacks a certain something.

And now I'm on the notification list, I had put this one out of my mind, now my wife is going to blame you! HahahaInterestingly ES have pictures up and their version will also come with the bone handle. £100 looks to be a great price for it. I'm tempted* to get the razor from ES now rather than Alpha.
