@Looney12345 pls PM me your address. I know you're on holiday until 17th Dec, so I'll try and get it to you for the following Monday.
I'm loving using this razor. It's a little too heavy (but very nicely balanced when using a 80mm stainless steel Bulldog handle); I don't like how easily it tarnishes; it's soft so the teeth would bend it dropped; and it's a bit too mild. But I love using it. It would be better in Stainless (lighter and stronger and tarnish free but possibly more expensive due to machining time) or titanium, however, if I'd won the raffle one I'd have had it rhodium plated and it would have been used very frequently indeed.

OK - the razor has been re-polished and packed and will be in the post to @Looney12345 this afternoon.
Whilst I have loved using this razor, using my Weber for the last two shaves has shown it to be too mild for my tastes. There's something about Seygus Razors that I like, I have enjoyed both the Aluminium SB and this Brass OC even though both have been to mild for me. If this were stainless or titanium and a little more aggressive I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

All, the razor landed yesterday, may not get the chance to use it until Thursday, busy in the build up to Xmas. Haven't even opened the tin!

Ha, thanks Paul. Think I used it in an area of patchy signal yesterday, it's happened a couple of times already, just hadn't noticed that it hadn't worked for the pass around postYour new (old) phone appears to be working well
Bloody thing is useless mind you, slow as anything, it's not even that old, but when compared to my broken phone the differences are very noticeable! First world problems... I'll shut up now

Well I finally got round to opening the tin. Nice looking razor, looking forward to trying it tomorrow on 5 days growth and an itchy beard!
Andreas, a little bad news for you, there are some scratches on the razor, namely on the bottom of the baseplate. Pictures are going to be scarce from me being on my old phone, perhaps the marks will polish out, I don't have much experience in polishing.
Thanks again for the chance to give this a go. Report to follow tomorrow.

Scratches, shmatches.. at the bottom of the base plate... so what?... I'll take care of that when it comes back... or not... DO NOT, I repeat: DO NOT bend the teeth...

Oh good, glad you aren't too worried, I think I remember seeing the same message in caps about scratches rather than teeth earlier in the forum which is why I was a little concerned... I'll have to give the teeth a good tug now, just for kicksScratches, shmatches.. at the bottom of the base plate... so what?... I'll take care of that when it comes back... or not... DO NOT, I repeat: DO NOT bend the teeth...
