It's cool that the head is swappable with the Double Open Comb model too.
The top plate cap looks cool, but the blade would make me nervous only being held at the ends with those little prongs at each side. I picture it wobbling and catching or digging in.
I hope looks are deceiving though.
Looking forward to hearing what you think of it after a few shaves Gary.

- I read somewhere Phoenix is going to make a solid handle Switchback brush out of aluminum soon. I hope it's competitively priced and not all laser engraved like the Switchback 400 is on the ferrules.

Malarkey, IMO.
Grooves and such are purely cosmetic, considering this razor is most likely made in Pakistan or similar country.
Those who appreciate this as being a true homage to razors from days long gone, so be it.
Honestly, this is yet another example of cheap crap being peddled to vulnerable or naive folks.
Seriously, if I wanted to save $ and buy a quality razor that performs, I'd sooner look at Merkur and such.
To each their own.

For the first shave with the Prismatic this morning I loaded a new Personna hospital use blade (my personal favorite DE blade). As is my habit nowadays, I only make one pass, and that pass is only against the grain (ATG). I had no idea what to expect. The result was a close smooth shave with no nicks or otherwise. Here's my SOTD photograph.
