That razor is beautiful! I searched for one in the USA and doesn’t appear to be available. How would you rate the efficiency compared to other razors or on a mild to aggressive type scale?

I bought mine from YourShaving.Com and paid about $100 at the time (-10% discount code), including shipping and customs duties (sent as a gift). It’s the best $100 I’ve ever spent, I get just as close a shave with this as I do with my $385 Ascender Eagle R1 razor. I feel I should add that I have a bit of stubborn growth under my chin, which means that a BBS is not a given with just any razor. But both of these razors can handle it, and they don't feel aggressive at all. Both are comfortable and soot to use. If I had to nitpick, the SBARBA Stormbreaker is just a tiny bit top-heavy, since the handle of the SBARBA Stormbreaker is hollow at the bottom about an inch. That's the only thing I would change, and it would have been perfect. But then again, for about $100, it was a steal. To be honest, I don't know exactly how many razors I have, but it's well over 100. I'll never part with the Ascender Eagle R1 and the SBARBA Stormbreaker, they're at the top of my list.
