A good thing made even better.
Rewriting my review because I just got my hands on the new version of the chieftain. Pictures show both side by side. Old one is on the left. New one is on the right.
Design changes include bigger combs, more substantial ribs connecting the combs to the head, thicker butterfly doors, and some more detail stamped on the underside and inside of the head.
The new one is significantly heavier, with the weight more distributed towards the top. This is important because that extra heft makes your strokes feel a little more controlled as the razor encounters resistance.
The new one also has significantly less rattle, when I shake it, and the moving parts are smoother and quieter.
This is an all-around outstanding razor with excellent fit and finish, and a very satisfying look and feel. You can't go wrong with it.
