How does it compare to, say ATT se?
Thank you..
I'm pleased you are getting on with it, even with the Feather Super blades. P.First shave with mine last night.
(Thanks again @Blackmass!)
My worry about the weight was unfounded. The ss General doesn't feel heavy and it has a nice balance.
Unfortunately, as suspected, the handle is a little too short for my taste - which is a big shame as it is a really nice handle.
I paired the head with an Ikon OSS handle and a Feather Super blade.
4 days growth gone in the first north to south pass.
I probably could have left it there, but decided in a south to north pass and ended up with BBS.
With a Feather Super you have to get your angle right and take your time for great results.
For a milder shave, you could easily drop in a Proline or Feather Pro.
Great razor, definitely a keeper.
I had both the brass and the stainless and let the stainless one go in favor of the brass, it would be a boring old world if we liked all the same things wouldn't it! The knurling on the SS handle was nice though. P.I love the general razor and I own all 3 of them - aluminium for travel, brass and SS version. I will be getting rid of the brass version in favour of the SS one. I love the weight and feel of the razor itself with nicely finished knurled handle.
Also, I found that swapping the general SS handle pairs really well with my mongoose in SS as well and looks really nice in comparison to the default mongoose handle that I don't really like - I find the knurling too slippery for my taste, although the length is nice
Overall SS general is my favourite SE razor, slightly beats mongoose due to its price and definitely beats ATT SE1 in terms of effectiveness. My only wish would be that they made the handle a tad bit longer, but that's just personal preference
@Blademonkey how much were the first batches of the General please?? I believe is back in stock.I had both the brass and the stainless and let the stainless one go in favor of the brass, it would be a boring old world if we liked all the same things wouldn't it! The knurling on the SS handle was nice though. P.
