You probably like it, it has good blade feeling.

Just....pretty good?

It is very efficient, the razor weighs 97 grams, and toggle mechanism works fast.  
I rarely use Kai blade, I need more shave with Wizamet to give detail feedback.
The only issue is that I couldn't fit Wizamet as easy as Kai blade to Janus.
I had to push the Wizamet blade to fit it, then decided to get my first shave with Kai.

If I’m not mistaken and I may be wrong the Feather was the optimum blade as far as fitting a blade in the Janus because he was using the Derby and we were like please no! Maybe he changed his mind since our last conversation on the subject back quite a few months ago. Personally I bought a whole bunch of Wizamet blades and I’m not a fan and they’ll be leaving my den soon. Kai’s I find are ok in a Timeless but are just ok in others. Of course just going by what works or doesn’t for me. I know I’ll be putting a Feather in mine.
Nice photos BTW!

Feather fits very well. I like to use Kai with mild razors, since it is slightly wider or deeper, and it gives more blade exposure. 
I felt a bit blade chattering. Might be I didn't get angle well. Waiting for more reviews.

Well like any razor and blade it does take a while to dial it in.  I’m just extremely curious to see how it compares to the prototype as far as efficiency & smoothness. I have a feeling that maneuverability will be better based on the fact that he scaled it down a bit and knocked down that huge set of doors that were on it. My only concern is I’m hoping he was able to duplicate the angle of the blade as I would put the prototype in my top 3 or 4 as far as one of the smoothest efficient razors I’ve shaved with. Ok I gotta stop worrying so much and just wait to shave with mine on Monday! lol

My razor just arrived. Can I just say how pleased I am with the "personal" touch around these razors. He's signed off on my razor as the quality control person, included a little thank you on a post it note and his phone number. Amazing. From start to finish I am so happy I backed this project and that Eric has been successful. Top notch.
