Long story short: Get one, unless you use very long razors.

The execution looks and feels top notch, the colour is a close match for my load bearing equipment (not a major concerns for most people), and I know the maker. What is not to like?

A few pics – click to make bigger:

 Empty – notice the sealed edges in the seam.
 With a Gillette ’58 TV Special.
 With a GEM Micromatic Clug Pruf.
 With a Cadet TTO-13.
With a Schick “Lady Eversharp” Injector – my longest razor and the only one that didn’t fit.

More upcoming excitment

The Darwin is/was one of the more distinct safety razors out there, with a hexagonal handle and a top cap with a unique shape:

Getting one these days are hard, but when there is an openign in the marked someone might step up to fill it – in this case it’s Phil over at BullGoose shaving who have announced the “Evolution”, a stainless steel re-imagining of the Darwin.

Given the positive reception and reviews of Phil’s Asylum Rx Single Edge razor, I think it’s fair to say that the Evolution will be of high quality and give great shaves.

Read more about it on my favourite shave forum.

Phil – the guy behind my favourite shaving forum – is running a competition where you can win one of his eagerly awaited Asylum Rx razors. I havn’t tried it myself, but the feedback from the early testers are encouraging to say the least.

Full disclosure: I’m one of the forum moderators, and I lust for this razor badly myself.
