The Bunny has been out and about today. More pictures to come
Great pic. I guess you can teach an old Bunny new tricks after all.

No tricks involved, Karl. What you see below the Bunny is not the handle of the brush, but the stand of a black Standard razorGreat pic. I guess you can teach an old Bunny new tricks after all.
Another picture of the Bunny's sightseeing trip
Andreas @riverrun - I collected the package from RM today. The Bunny Razor is now with me...

What are your very first impressions of it out of the box?
Toms V 2 Injector..First impressions out of the box @Darkbulb were not good.
The aluminium handle has already picked up loads of scratches and scuffs which detracts somewhat from the strangely attractive Art Deco design.
Of some concern too, there is a significant amount of play in the main part of the spring at the side where the injector key enters. I believe Tom's original design had 3nr pins (or screws) holding the main spring in place whereas the V3 has only 2nr pins centrally located. With repeated use of the injector key, this is only going to get worse - it is quite noticeable in the this photograph.
Looking beyond the above, however, it is abundantly clear that the design is so unique and Tom's engineering skills are supreme. The way each of the 3nr plates fit into the razor's seat has to be seen to be believed. Even without the retaining screw inserted, the tolerance is so close that there is no movement whatsoever in the plate.
Notwithstanding its propensity to easily scratch and scuff, in actuality the aluminium really does feel good (warm too) in the hand and the razor is very nicely weighted.
Early days of course, and I haven't even wielded the razor in anger yet. I'm really looking forward to trying it out though - shave reports to follow in due course.
Thanks to Tom @twhite510 for putting the razor up for pass around and Andreas @riverrun for facilitating the same.
Ohh, one more thing - I don't like the name 'Bunny Razor'. Totally subjective, I know, but in the same vein as no-one wants to be Mr Pink, a more masculine name would be indicated if it was my bunny...
The very first incarnation had 3 screws. I had that arrangement to keep the spring down evenly.Toms V 2 Injector..
My Bunny V 2 has the same spring set up the same as the Bunny V 3...

I reread your post.
There is one favor I ask of you. Could you please video yourself wielding the razor in anger[emoji16]. Is there a lot of swearing going on when you shave?[emoji16]
