Colonial have none for sale at the moment. I believe they have a new version in the works.

Be interesting to see what the 'new version' has to offer. The General is a real class act. May be a shiny finish?

To quote Colonial Razors ....
The handle will be a tad shorter and the head is about 25% shorter in length. This version 2 General will be a different experience than the original.

So in general (no pun intended) a smaller version. Not sure I could live with a shorter handle as the present item is at my limits in the world of being small.

I've heard Colonial are concentrating on a DE model and putting any new SE on the back burner. Bit of a pity.

I gave a 'like' because of your update but otherwise I do hope they go back to SE as the General is just one hell of a great performer. Stick with what you are good at.

There's always ATT SE1 returns, saves a bit on the new price and cheaper in aluminium. You just need the head - fits any M5 handle.

Is anyone here going to be hanging on a keyboard at 1700 UK time tomorrow (Saturday 14th), to buy one of these?

It looks good, but, oh my! the price. I estimate the total cost from the USA to my UK door, including tax and imposts, to be about £212, which is quite an investment.

Now that looks like a razor I could really get to like. Is resistance futile, I wonder?

Ow. I've just seen the cost and feel by resistance to temptation has received a great boost.

Not for me this time,I'm happy enough with the V1 SS and the Aluminium.
Some price hike for the V2 !!!

After my recent acquisition of a brass General I do wonder if things can get much better but temptation does rattle my cage of temptuous objects to desire

And a damn sight cheaper than an Aston Martin
