I have the Faux Ivory version, but they are basically the same. The razor is an amazing tool that comes packed in a lovely box. Everything about the razor screams classy, the chrome is truly exceptional.
The shave is very good with virtually no weepers or cuts as the razor is not as aggressive as others. I have been using Feathers and Yellow 7 O Clocks with no problems (these same blades would not work well in my Merkur HD).
While some people have had issues with the three piece construction, I don't, and quite like it.
The balance of the razor is very good, with all the weight being in the head. The length of the handle is also great for my hands.
The only issue that I have with the razor is that the handle is a bit light in weight and construction. There have been numerous post on various boards reporting handle breakage, and as a result I have been extremely careful.
All in all this is a lovely piece of equipment and highly recommended!!!
