And how was the shave w/ the Classic?

It's a different animal, but after a couple of strokes it wasn't difficult to find the sweet spot. The ergonomics are very good. The result is excellent and I can get away with only two passes on my neck.
Time will tell if it's a keeper or if it replaces the Mongoose- which I like very much and gives me great shaves.

UPDATE: Several hours later and I'm really loving the BBS all over. Nice job Cobra.

Maybe replate it?

The first shave with my Classic Cobra this morning.
A very well made and great looking razor that gave me a smooth shave in two passes.
Really happy with it.

Now, is it 'better' than the King Cobra (for me)?
Probably not...I did find the handle to be 10-15mm 'too short' and the handle was at some points not as easy to navigate as my KC. I guess all of this is because of it being the very first time using the razor and may very well change with some more uses (which it will get for sure!).
It will however take a lot to de-throne the mighty KC which I still think is an exceptional razor
