It will be a pleasure.Mine will be here hopefully in a couple of weeks. I ordered it the moment they went on sale.
Hello Wingman, I have the alum. general and I indeed find it smoother than the OB V1.
I can imagine the brass will be even better because of the heft, but to tell the truth, I was using the general with a heavier handle. I guess though the brass will be more balanced.
I think it's $16.00 to ship to the UKI'm looking at ordering the silver head only, anyone know what they charge to ship to the UK? Can't seem to find shipping charges on their website.
Close! Give the young man a cigar. It's $16.95.I think it's $16.00 to ship to the UK

They are not even same planet. General is smooth and a lot better than RR.Cheers Blademonkey, will have to make my mind up. See how I get on with the RR Hawk..
Trust me gentlemen I have tried nearly every AC type blade razor at one time or another and the latest incarnation of the General (Brass) edges everything else into second place. I seem to remember in training my instructor saying " It pays to be a winner sir " and the General is just that a WINNER, so go ahead enjoy.
Hi Rob ,Sorry if you have already mentioned this before but....
Do you have the aluminium version as well? If so, are you saying the Brass version is better? If so why?
The thing I really like about the aluminium version is the weight. I'm not sure I'd like the weight of the Brass one. It's not far off the same weight as the Hone 15, which I've tried and didn't get along with due to the weight of it.
Also I wish they hadn't changed the shape of the handle. I know this was done for weight distribution but still prefer the shape of the aluminium one.
Hi Rob ,
Many of us found that the General performed better with a heavier handle, and because of feedback I think that is the reason for the development of the Brass version.All reports I have read so far have ben very favourable. It is often the weight of the Razor which allows you to develop a light touch with no pressure. Using some quite heavy
razors recently I have suffered no cuts or irritation.
I hope that you find the Supply Single Edge not too heavy, as I understand you are in the Lending Pool for it. I am trying the Brass General soon, courtesy of James@Acer89, and am scheduled to pass it on to you afterwards.
All the best with the Supply, just get the angle right though, I failed miserably but now have it sussed.
