I found a stand on Amazon to fit the razor.  It’s a bit tippy, but the sweeping lines of the handle are going to make an upright stand difficult.

Here is an update on an issue I had that is now resolved

The replacement Asylum injector arrived today, and it shaves great! Mostly what I was hoping for, it being a tad more aggressive. Held lightly and not too steep yielded a very nice shave.

This is the new head. Actually, Phil at Bull Goose sent a whole new razor!

Replacement? Yes. I had what I thought was an overly aggressive shave on the first outing with the Asylum (I believe I mentioned a bit of face tingling after the shave), and I figured it was the Proline B-20, a new blade to me. So the next day, I put in a sChick and had similar results. But when I posted the photo for that first shave, something caught my eye, and it really stood out when I changed the blade.

I didn't notice it at a different angle!

Here is the first head's underside.

I contacted Phil via the Contact Us button on the website on the 20th and he responded within an hour, saying that doesn't sound good and he'd make it right with a replacement. I had mentioned the photos above but was unable to send them via the website. Phil said he'd like a look, so I sent out 5 or 6 photos. Again, a rapid reply stating he'd be shipping a replacement that day. Due to the weekend, it arrived today, but that is still pretty darn fast! 

I am very happy and wanted to acknowledge Phil and how well I feel he took care of the issue. This is my first dealing with him, and I know that like another vendor there is a bit of a divide on his reputation. Just posting my two cents!

Thank you for sharing your mini-review of the Asylum Razor. It's always great to hear first hand experiences. From your description, the razor has a solid build quality and provides a smooth shave.

Yes thanks for this review. I also have this razor. It is one of my favorites in my collection.
In my opinion, he looks much more harmonious than his big brother (but it's just a optical point).
