New Asylum Rx V2

That is awful. What was Phil thinking. Mine is hung up in California because the next stop Louisville had a snow storm.

Mine hasn't budged from Cali yet either......

It’ll be out of warranty now, Dave. Sorry.

If they were shipped USPS Priority we would have had the razors by now. Instead they were sent UPS ground which is the cheapest delivery form for the weight.

Mine is coming USPS...........well it is with USPS........coming hopefully It's always frustrating when the Tracking shows no change for 3 days. It has to be somewhere if moving thru the system........

Mine only showed movement when it got to Atlanta then it tracked fine. USPS is frustrating at time.

I received the new Asylum Rx yesterday and given my complete lack of patience, I took it for a spin this morning. Loading the blade into this 3 piece razor is a bit fiddly at best. At least the lockup is solid once everything in tightened down. I have never tried the Proline AC blades so I ordered some along with the razor. Unlike some of the other photos, my razor had no blemishes and was finished exceptionally well. I did wash the razor and noticed some of the buffing compound came off during the wash. No big deal to me but I thought I should not it. I currently have the General V1 in brass and the Cobra Classic. The feel of the razor during use is much closer to the Cobra Classic. The shave this morning was relatively smooth. I think it will get better over the next few uses as I master the razor. However, the shave was not mindless at all. I had a couple of operator induced nicks and weepers. Maybe in the future the Asylum Rx will be an auto pilot shave but not now. I wanted a razor that felt like the Cobra but with a more solid feel and lock up. The Asylum ticked the boxes for me. I will keep using it and pull out some other AC blades to try as well.

Usually Phil is pretty good with returns so I am not getting the attitude. All he had to do is download a shipping label and send it via email.

I asked him to send me a prepaid shipping label. Phil declined and told me shipping the razor to him is my responsibility.

Great review and pictures Clint. Hopefully mine will look as nice as yours but first I have to receive it which appears to be a challenge. When I get it I will shart with a Pro Super. Best of luck and happy shaving.

Nice get to know each other shave, looking forward to how it evolves for you. Thanks Clint

Thank you Dave. I will update as I get more miles on the razor.
