I got mine in last nights mail. I can’t wait to take it for a spin. First impression, it’s not as head heavy as the original Gibbs and seems well balanced for a small razor. Fit & finish seems very good at a quick glance an the N replaces what would be setting 3 on the dial. The true test for me at least is will it shave as smoothly with the same amount of efficiency all the way through all 6 settings as the original Gibbs. If it does then this might be one of the best bargains out there in an adjustable razor.

Great shaves!

All chrome short handled version. Decent weight, with good overall balance, still feels biased towards the head in my hands. First shave was actually quite nice with a fresh Bic Chrome Platinum. Shaved with it on 6 then 4 as the N is 3 but, is the lowest setting on the razor. At least on my sample. The movement is very nice and smooth throughout its whole range and it opens up to a pretty nice gap coming round to the 4 (technically a 7, maybe 8?) setting at almost a full turn and a slight bit extra. A nice 2.5 pass shave that was quite good. Greenfresh brought the suds for extreme comfort & glide. Not bad, not bad at all on its first shave. More to come….

Nice one guys....bet these are all sold out by now.
Damn, I would've loved it if these were readily available.

Love the all-chrome scheme.

Hi Gus. The big question is...how does it compare to the original? Just as smooth? Efficiency?

Interested to hear your thoughts as well.

I have avoided the Gibbs for a lot of reasons, most silly and trivial. However, for some reason I ordered the all chrome version.

Quite similar to be honest. Nearly as smooth and perhaps equal with efficiency that is very close to the OG Gibbs. I think the extra weight of the razor might have something to do in adding some extra feel and shave prowes to the Heritage. I was pleasantly impressed on this initial shave.

That sounded pretty positive Gus.
  Looking forward to what you think Cem.
  It sounds like you're in business James, nice!
