Mine also says "Out for Delivery" but it's actually still in China. Are you sure yours is really on the way? You could end up with a full beard before it lands, especially with Christmas and NY coming up.

I had an email to say it was with my local delivery company. I also had the same for the SE version and it was delivered 2 days ago.
Well, darn it. I thought my order probably preceded your giant RAD order, but maybe not. Either that or you somehow got very lucky with shipping. But the point is...
I WANT MY RAZOR!!
Full beard averted....it arrived and looks good. As I am on a GEM run at the moment I will take it on it's maiden voyage later.
Well .....the Alu Predator is definitely a keeper for me. A very efficient smooth shave was had......and I could be convinced to prefer it to the TI sand blasted version which I suspect has a little more drag
They are now offering 316 stainless versions for $57 for those interested
I can't find that version on alie. Link?
Thanks!
I am so tempted....but I don't think I need Predators in three different materials!
But you really never know for sure unless you try all three.
I just saw that they have stainless steel version of the Predator and other razors a few days ago. How long have these been up for sale? I don't recall seeing them before, so I assume they were just released? I was originally looking at the Ti version or maybe the Aluminum version (just to try out and resell if I liked it to get the Ti version), but I wonder if I should skip both and get the SS version instead.
I've had other expenses come up that is going to cost a decent amount of money, otherwise, I would have already bought the Ti version of the Predator. Going to have to wait a couple of weeks until I pay that, then I can order a razor or two.
Also, which is the Avenger and Stomper? I'm confused at the names as I just go off of the colour that is listed on AliExpress (AC, SE, DE etc.).
Which of the handles do you guys like best from Shield, or do most of you guys that have a Shield razor, do use your own handle and just buy the head?

@Ice09 They just released the stainless and aluminum was released a month or so back. I believe the difference is below
Predator - Gem Blades
Avenger - AC blades
Stomper - half DE blades
Hope this helps

Avenger - AC blades
Stomper - half DE blades

The Avenger has the AC2 head. The Evolution has the AC Vector like head. The Avenger format I think is only available in Titanium
I tried to warn you folks!
Don't blame me if you can't afford to heat yer house until Spring!

Thanks for the information. I didn't know it came directly from Aliexpress. I thought Bullgoose had exclusive rights as I couldn't find another vendor. I put my order in for the 316L Shield Predator Gem razor.
Can't wait
Is this razor head like one half is Avenger (AC blade) and the other half Stomper (split DE blade)?
Yup, one half-DE loaded up on one side and one AC on the other side, Mike throws in extras sometimes and he sent me an AL7075 version. I haven’t tried it yet.
