This is one outstanding razor. This is the first razor that I've tried that allows me an ATG pass, easily, without fuss, without nick, without weepers and without any AS sting to shout about...
Yes it's heavy, but once your into the swing of the shave I simply forgot about it's weight and got on with the job. For me the handle is a perfect length but I've already demonstrate how easily a custom handle could be designed & made (see pass around thread). The head is not too big & it wasn't unwieldy in use. The fit and finish is absolutely bang on. Machining is as good as Feather/ATT - better than iKon I'd say. Fantastic all round...

The blade was the let down tonight, it just didn't have the bite for 2 days growth; it maybe just doesn't suit the razor?
This is a keeper (oh, it's a pass around, I'll have to let it go! :( )

Not at all, when I made the razor I was going for a viking theme. Not quite in the stone age, but bronze age at least. Yaba da doo

I think it's the scales - they look enormous compared to the pins.

By the way, my favourite joke is something along the lines of:

Those Arab Emirates are hard to understand - Bahrain TV doesn't allow the Flinstones to be broadcast - and neither does Dubai - but Abu Dhabi do!
