No problem, thanks for the quality razor.So great to hear @Sid James! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
Lovely result Rob. It is satisfying polishing this razor on receipt. I got the Peek out just after mine came.I'd like to add my experience to this thread and to thank Colonial Razors for their great service - I ordered last Thursday and received it today (Tuesday) which is incredible given the very reasonable postage charge.
The website mentions that the finish is not polished and that machine marks are visible, so l was not surprised when first viewing it. My shave this morning was effortless and I was never concerned that I had a new blade in place - Proline. This razor will become a regular. I've added a few photos below to show what it looked like on arrival and then after some time spent polishing.

What’s that handle you’ve got on the general there @Str8Mug ? I like it.Kudos to Colonial Razors for creating the Brass General. A simple yet elegant design that means business when it comes to cutting down the whiskers. There isn’t a blade that this razor can’t use (Feather Pro Super, Pro, Kai Captain, Kai Titan Mild, Kai MG ProTouch & Schick Proline) and I’ve never given myself a bad shave with it. It’s just a really well made and beautiful razor to look at.
