I used my aluminum Gen for the past two shaves. Excellent and easy.

I agree its nice. No verdict on which one I like better though.

It's official! We are officially out of stock on our current SS razor and can now truly say we are only machined in the USA! It's a great feeling for us and hopefully a bright future awaits as we introduce new razors in the coming months.

I've really enjoyed my V1 Brass General and would never sell it. I'm looking forward to the new SS V2 especially the polished one as I'm not as keen on matte finished razors. Glad it's being made in the USA to and Aluminum for me would be a no go as they are to lightweight for me so I'm glad you made the decision to go with SS.

Keep us updated!

I love my Colonial General SS razor and it's pretty much all I use any more. But definitely want to get the V2 in polished SS, am really looking forward to that, and hope it comes out soon. Much preferring polished to matte these days.

I read in some post here or elsewhere of a Gentleman talking about light razors + sharp blades performing better and resulting in comfortable shaves than heavy razor + dull blade (with more shaves). Heavy razors don't let us realize how sharp or dull the blade is. I found his reasoning convincing but need to try myself to agree fully to his logic.

I have limited experience with lightweight razors, but when I tried the RR Black Hawk it felt like i had to push the blade through the hairs, even on the WTG pass which was very surprising for me. Almost like the razor was bouncing off the stubble when I tried not to use pressure. My previous lightest razor was probably the Feather AS-D2 just for reference. I use the same blades (Prolines) in my SS General and it is all I use now, probably going to sell everything else. Unbelievable for the price. Even if you don't consider the price I'd still be interested to hear anyone who has one that prefers another razor.

Only razors peaking my interest now are the V2 General, the upcoming Blackland SE, and MAYBE the Karve CB, in that order.

Any plans to make a more aggressive shaver? I liked the SS General I had but it required 4 passes to get to DFS. It was a smooth shaver but a bit too mild for my whiskers.

I put my heaviest SS handle on the hawk and it ups the effiency and delivers to a nice shave
