Colonial Razor's General Tour

I thought the Asylum Rx Tour would be the last of its kind, but then a new razor hit the market that caught my eye: Colonial Razor's General. As an all-aluminum razor it is more affordably priced than its stainless steel brethren, and on the spectrum of single edge razors I find it to be one of the mildest, but incredibly efficient. For those sitting on the sidelines considering dipping their toes into shaving with a modern single edge razor, the General might be a good introduction...and I hope to make that introduction even easier. If you have interest in trying the razor, please see below.

NOTE: I have no affiliation with the manufacturer, I am simply a SE fanboy.

General requirements for participation
Active Shave Nook members in "good standing" are welcome to send me a PM regarding participating in the tour. I would suggest active and good standing infers you have been around TSN for at least a few months and are participating in the community. If you are active on other shaving forums and are new to TSN I will take that into consideration. And if you do not qualify today but have interest, you may become eligible as the tour unfolds...so please feel free to send me a message and I can add you to the "reserve" list. 

Following are the rules that I have used for each of the tours I have hosted, which are simply intended to keep the tour fair, fun and safe. 

1. Please try to limit your time with the gear to 7 days. This should be enough time for some quality shaves and impressions. There will be exceptions, and if you know ahead of time your schedule will be limited (e.g., vacation, job constraints, travel) please let me know so we can adjust the order and keep the momentum going.

2. The package will contain a Colonial Razor General, and several packages Feather Artist club blades so you can find which blade works for you.  Each member is invited to use one of each blade, so the package I am sending should allow up to 15 members to try the razor.  If we have more than 15 interested members I will send additional blades onto the road when we reach that point.  

3. I am shipping the razor clean and sterilized. Please do the same before handing it off to the next member. Simple Green, soapy hot water, Barbicide and Scrubbing Bubbles are fine.  Please do NOT use boiling water or bleach on the razor. 

4. Carefully wrap and ship the package as your means allow (e.g, USPS, UPS, FedEx). It will be shipping in a small Priority Mail flat rate box. If you ship via Priority Mail $50 insurance is included, which is sufficient for this tour. Total out of pocket expense to participate will be about $7.   

5. Communicate. Please post in this tour thread when you receive the razor and when it ships.  Upon receipt, please contact the next person on the list in order to have their shipping information on-hand when your time with the razor is over.  Please PM me as needed or if you have questions. It is never fun to track you down if you are in possession of the razor and have gone off the grid.  

6. Post reviews! Please share your impressions, good or bad, with your fellow TSN members.  

7. Have fun and...go Shave Nook!

Thanks TSN!
