Well-said. At the risk of setting another hare running, I'm personally less concerned about things that may happen to, or result from, the metal of the razor, than I am about some of the ingredients in soaps, EDT, A/S, balms and other substances applied to the skin. I don't have a very sensitive skin, but my hide finds one or two things less bearable than others.Verdigris is not the same as normal tarnish, per se IMO. I have had ammunition (brass alloy cartridges) develop verdigris within a week when left in leather cartridge belt loops that have been vegetable tanned. It was a dark green buildup beyond anything I have ever seen involving brass/copper in normal day to day usage. That is why to this day law enforcement ammunition in the USA usually is in nickel plated cases, a carryover from olden times when spare duty ammunition was stored in cartridge belt loops.
Finally, when's the last time you have heard or read of someone having a reaction to tarnish on an old Gillette or Schick brass razor? Let's not pole vault over a mouse turd here.
" My brass General has just arrived, and it looks and feels great"
That's good enough for me.....pulled the trigger and ordered one.

Thankyou, my bank manager may want a word!Good for you! I will wait... My funds are still very low...
I'm surprised at the speed mine got to me. I ordered and paid for it about 5 minutes after they were released at 4 p.m. UK time on Saturday 1st April, it was in and out of the Reading PA post office that evening, and was delivered to my house by Royal Mail postman at about 11:30 this morning, Wednesday 5th April. I wish everything from North America (and elsewhere too) arrived so fast, but this is exceptional." My brass General has just arrived, and it looks and feels great"

First time around with this, and it's another first-class razor.
great write up, would you say the fit and finnish is as good as the Hone Type 15?
