My first SE razor was The General by Colonial Razors! The General is, IMHO, The Razor! One of the best I try! Minimalistic, beautiful design, excellent quality and fair price that is The General.
P.S. If you find some gramatical errors, don't be mad at me!

First impressions
First impression was – hmmmm. Why? On their web site you can find this text: „Packaging: Bubble wrapped and shipped in a small box.“ And it is true! The Razor really coming JUST wrapped in bubbles! No box, no nothing! Just Bubble wrapped! But when you take it out, reaction is – mmmmmm...
Beautifull, simple, elegant and minimalistic design (at least for me). Feels good in the hand, well, well balanced.
The handle (and the whole razor) is very similar to the Standard DE razor, but there is some difference in design. And tnx God fot that, beacouse it looks much better! The handle has 'cannon'-shaped tapering at the end of the handle. This also assists in creating a comfortable hold as well as pushing some of the weight(or better, the lightines) towards the head.
The head of razor is small and the blade is placed on two small pegs situated on the top cap that does a good job keeping the blade in place during the head assembly and during the shave. Blade has a nice exposure and provide a more than pleasent shaving.
How it shave?
I'm impressed! It is mild but very efficient razor. You can easily find the right angle and you have complete control over the razor. After first few moves on face, you understaind that this razor will very safetly do the job! Navigating around my face was really efortless. And very enjoyable. It gives a very, very close shave.
This is a excellent razor. It is so awsome, that members of ATG, TSR and TSD forum and on Reddit says that this is the best SE razor of 2016.!
