Unboxing my Portland "Sprite":
The blade had been oiled prior to shipping, that's why it looks a little dirty in these pictures.
It's a fantastic shaver, very maneuverable. Though the original edge had to receive some post-treatment. Very sharp, but a bit too harsh for my taste, especially against the grain. A few dozen laps on an Arkansas Black and a Thuringian waterstone did the trick (did not do that myself since I don't own any stones yet).
