Could you put at least two in front of me because I'm on another pass around 
(  timeless bronze) and the razor is on its way.
    If that's alright?

I never was place back inline.

Good to me....

Good morning gents; I finished up my last shave with the Colibri last night, and will have it cleaned and sanitized to ship out to keto today. Will post my review a little later when I get some time.
Thanks again to GlazedBoker and Homelikeshaving for this passaround. I would never have been able to try out this razor (or many others) if not for this community and the great passarounds that have been provided.

Good evening! Sorry it took me a few days to put this together, my week has been busier than I expected. 

The build of this razor is very good, fit and finish is great. The handle is a great length for me, and the knurling provides a nice grip. I like the slim profile of the head. One thing I didn’t like (that I thought wouldn’t bother me) is how much the blade tabs protrude from the sides of the head; they are less covered on this razor than any other DE that I’ve used. .

Some background on what I’ve been using most recently, I have been using razors that are much milder than the Colibri. The most aggressive thing I currently have in my den is a RR Game Changer 0.84. The other razor that I have that I’ve been using the most is a Tatara Masamune with Nodachi top cap. I typically shave every other day, and that’s what I did while trying out the Colibri.

First shave:
1.30 mm solid bar 
Graydog brush with 26mm Maggard SHD knot
PermaSharp blade (first use)
Ethos Grooming Essentials Succes soap

At this point, this is by far the most aggressive razor that I’ve tried. I went for the 1.30 base plate thinking it would be a good starting point, but it was a bit more than I expected. It was pretty bloody, with several actual cuts (which I don’t think I’ve had in over a year). This base plate was VERY efficient for me; took down the 2 days growth with no problem, but it was definitely very harsh for me. Close to BBS, but like I said, several cuts and some irritation. 

Second shave: 
Same setup as the first, I wanted to see what I could do to tone down the 1.30 base plate. Since it was so efficient, I went for a two pass rather than my typical 3 pass and cleanup. I changed my technique slightly (lightened up on the pressure as much as I could), and got a bit better shave this time. It was still a bit harsh, but not nearly as much as the first shave. Of all the base plates I tried, this is one I would keep trying to work with to get a good shave.

Third shave: 
For this one, I decided to go for broke and try out the 1.50 base plate. I knew it would be dicey for me, but went ahead and tried for a 2 pass. I did switch to a Polsilver stainless blade, which is usually one of the smoothest blades for me; everything else was kept the same. Similar to the first shave with the 1.30, this was very harsh. I got a couple of cuts, and some weepers. Obviously, I’m not used to these very blade-forward razors with such a large gap. This felt so harsh, I’m not sure that I’d want to try to figure this one out. A couple of others have noted that they have razors that are just as efficient as this, but with much less blade feel, which is what I would be looking for. 

Fourth shave: 
For this one, I wanted to step it down to the 0.80 base plate; I kept everything else the same. I was expecting something close to the Game Changer, but again, this design is very blade forward, so a much harsher shave than what I would prefer, even with the smaller gap. 

Final thoughts… I know there are guys out there who love these very blade forward designs, but I don’t think they’re for me. It reminded me a little of the Blackland Dart, which I tried using for a while. The Dart is super efficient, but there was just too much blade feel for me, and I wound up with irritation most of the time. I loved everything else about that razor, though, perfectly balanced. 
Many guys on here talk about razors that are efficient enough to do a 2 pass BBS shave, and I would like to find a razor that works for me in 2 passes, but something that's a little smoother than this one. 

I would like to try the Homelike Start at some point, as many have said that it is a smoother shaver than the Colibri. Thanks again to GlazedBoker and Homelikeshaving for the chance to try out this new design! Razor has been cleaned and sanitized, and is on the way to keto 

The wife said I got a box today so it should be the razor. I'll check it out when I get back tomorrow and get a shave in with the big  plate.

I received the razor and plates yesterday got home today from work and got a shave in with the SB 1.50. I used a gold PermaSharp blade in it and had 3+ passes. 1 WTG,2XTG  and some extra ATG  swipes to clean up more stubble.
   To me the razor had some higher pitch feedback which it's not my favorite. Some razors that are more expensive razors seem that way to me also, not a deal killer.
   Seem like a pretty good shave also pretty comfortable.  I'll probably use the same 1.50 plate again because I like the more efficient razors.
