I'll have to take it for a run soon.
Yesssss indeed!! Veddy veddy nice!!!

G'day, Grassy!
You've got another great razor in your collection! Thanks for sharing the images. I find the side view most interesting, particularly that the spine of the blade doesn't rest on the blade tray. Lots of space to collect lather. I like how they've got quotes around the name on the top cap! Is there a spring for the top cap, does it snap in place when closed?
Looking forward to stunning SotD pictures with this as the star!

Very interesting retention springs. Beautiful razor. Looks like it should be a great shaver.

Thanks, I've not seen springs like those before but they seem to do a good job. I think the shave may be fairly efficient looking at the blade gap, I'll have to give it a go to find out.

I like how the stropping attachment stores in the handle.
