Plain cardboard box the Weber Razor comes in.

Weber Razor: DLC head with "Classic" handle and complimentary pack of Astra Superior Platinum blades.
- A nicely printed box would have been nice, plus I would have liked to have seen the razor inside, packed in some closed cell foam (instead of bubble wrap). Yes it would add a little more to the overall cost (2 to 3 dollars max), but I think those little details are worth doing, especially as we are talking a 100% stainless steel razor here ("high end").
- Overall the razor has a nice weight to it, though it does feel a bit light in the head area and a tiny bit overally heavy at the very base of the handle.
- Like the look and feel of the handle, though I do wish it was a bit thicker (more like an iKon handle).
- Like the look of the matt black head and the DLC feels nice against the skin.
- I'm sure it is fine, but I would have liked to have seen a slightly longer screw thread piece on the underside of head. The handle itself is tapped out to receive a longer threaded piece...
- The pack of blades in the box is a nice touch (as they weren't expected).
- Via email I shared the above and other items directly with Weber Razor.
- I've received back a very! nice reply...
- +1 added to "first impression" for customer service.
Edit: Updated layout.

Thanks for the review, Mike.
I have a Weber razor also, and I find it a little more aggressive than my go-to Edwin Jagger. I am favorably impressed with it, however, and it definitely occupies my Top 5.
I prefer a thick, short handle, so I didn't anticipate that I would like the standard handle on the Weber. Nevertheless, I didn't have any problem adapting to it.
This razor is very limited in the third-party handles that it will accomodate, however, as there are a couple of cross members on the underside of the razor bed that will only allow a handle that is very narrow at the top. I have a shorter, hefty handle from another razor that fits and that I have been using.

Hi Murray and Phil
I agree with both of you on the Weber being slightly more aggressive than the Edwin Jagger DE89... see here.
A little teaser, I was very! lucky to receive a custom made 100% stainless steel handle for zero cost, it fits the Weber and Edwin Jagger perfectly
