COBRA/FEATHER Pro  //  PALADIN Sherlock  //  MIKE'S Rose and Cedarwood

The Cobra continues to give an excellent shave. It lacks the surgical precision of some stainless razors and the blade loading mechanism while interesting is not as elegant as the design of the razor.  It's easy for the blade to misalign when closing the razor. I believe this is due to the less than precise machining and thick chrome plating.
The good news is that when it's properly loaded the Cobra is fun to use and has given me some of my best shaves. It also looks awesome in the den and feels really good in hand.  The Cobra's lofty reputation is deserved.
