Tom,If I do purchase an ocean going vessel, it will likely be a 8 foot dingy. If you guys don't mind I will name it Boaty McBoatface II. [emoji3]
That is the best name Ever for a boat.

Did you have the McBoatface 1 Mike B

Hi Billy.Glue a Set of Bunny Lugs on the B 1..Hop..Hop..

Ben,It's arrived safely and soundly! I'm sat in the PO car park having a quick look-over.
My first impressions are:
I need to have a read through this thread before I clean the razor. I hope to give it its first outing tonight using the the MILD comb.
- Weight and size are spot on. I wouldn't personally want it to be any heavier nor the handle any longer. The balance point is clearly at the head but it ought to be nimble enough in use.
- The aesthetics are refreshing. I like the lines and contrasts.
- This particular razor is not standing up well to use. There are scratches and marks all over the shop, as well as some tarnish, which I guess is something to be looked into if/when it goes into production.
I'm sure Tom @twhite510 will have an opinion on that..Before I load a blade, I've noticed what could be an issue: the head's uneven. It's tight on the offside but there's a 2mm gap on the near side and there's play in the spring when compressed by my thumb. See photo:

Good to know. I've now just loaded a Chick (very easily) and it sits fine on the stops (but this hasn't seem to change the spring position).It will shave fine. It is from tweaking the spring when installing. That is something that will be addressed in later versions
Enjoy the shave.
Tom
