I let mine go after a few uses. Loved it initially, but the leather note became more and more dominant with use, especially in the soap. Great performance from both, though.

Turns out what I thought was Canadian Gillette Super Stainless are actually French Annecy Super Stainless and imported by Gillette for the Canadian market. Can't wait to try these when they arrive. Also a bit of of a result on the Annecy platinums which are the infamous Gillette Swedes so I've been told on B&B.

I've recently gone on a bit of a vintage blade spree, managed to score some Dutch made Schick super stainless, Gillette Annecy platinums and some Canadian Gillette super stainless. Wonder how well these will shave when they arrive.

What is the weight with the 3.25” handle?
Probably I will get one with that handle also, did they take too long to ship after you place the order?

97 Grams is the weight of the razor, feels nice in the hand. From ordering it took around 4 weeks until it was dispatched.

Thanks . I already place the order today, with the same handle, I also have the stainless CB with the 3.25” handle.
On the stainless Overlander page it says that the lead time is around 1 week, on the lead time part it says 2-3 weeks, hopefully will be shipped at the beginning of May.
