A new safety razor on Kickstarter: The Shavernator

Amen brother!

 

Nice idea but I'll stay with my traditional DE. It is a bit big for my kinda shaving.

 

Might as well be shaving with a brick in your hand. looks rough geez lol

 

+1

 

It looks like a vegetable peeler.

From what I see this person has just invented the Bic disposable.

Pass.

 

Interesting...ugly looking. Don't think I would buy it but would try it once because...well...that's just how I am...maybe a pass around?

 

It is really interesting to me, that it appears every stitch of knowledge and development that went into making the double edge safety razor, is seemingly being utterly disregarded, and people are busily trying to reinvent the wheel. I really feel like before you 'invent' a new razor, you should buy a copy of Waits Compendium and memorize every bit of it. The history of the safety razor is literally clogged with dead end concepts, that I have no doubt whatsoever, their makers thought were their tickets to greatness. And many of those ideas were quite good. But when your idea is the beginning of the path that can only end at the Gillette Trac II (Two blades are better than one. But, how do we maintain perfect alignment with every shave, and keep the head a manageable size? Mount the blades in a disposable cartridge! Genius! Early lunch everybody!)... well, not so much.

 

IMPO Shaving with two blades is just wasting one blade. After coming home from a hunting or fishing trip with more than a weeks growth on my face, it only took ONE blade for that BBS .

 

Does anyone else think that this may be a university project for some one's engineering course maybe teamed up with someone else in business administration?

 

Now that you mention it. Like someone else said earlier, they have probably never used a DE or SE razor.

 

I`ve been surfing the web just to see what`s out there , been looking at the Rockwell with all those plates to adjust the gap, when I clicked on a link that brought me here. The thing is, is this gadget isn`t unique, I own a razor that has 2 de blades stacked one on top of the other (almost), made in Solingen, Germany. Cost me pretty penny too. Made from the finest steel, not coated. This razor is really beautiful, shaved with it this morning, 90 % bbs. For
anyone interested it is a Razolution by Simbatec.... (google it). Now... the skinny on it is that the blades are way too far apart, almost got them stuck ,one above my chin and the other below. To get set it up, you have twist the handle which bends the blades over an arch until the edges are sticking almost strait down but still at an angle. Laugh at four edges all you want..... but believe, don`t ever, ever shave with them. It didn`t take me long to shed the one on top, which to me seemed pretty useless (not to mention dangerous). I`m using that razor again in the morning because it shaves better than most.
I think that if I loosen the handle just a tad, It might increase the gap slightly and do an even better job.

billdog2, God Bless

P.S. I`ve wanted parse the word "IS" ever since Bill Clinton said it all depend on what is is.

 

Neat golf club! That's what it is right?

Sorry Rio, your idea is just cheesy.....oh yes I did!

 

Pass...

The MTO guy says I only need one blade.

 

I'll pass too. Reminds me of this razor: The Razolution with two normal DE blades.

I just checked the status of this project. They only raised $4,099 of the $30,000 they were looking for. I have to say that I'm not surprised.

 

I am. That they raised $4,009

 

Well, they obviously made it, get yours here...

Personally, I think I'll give it a miss. I'm doing fine with just one blade thank you!

Hey you never know, perhaps they'll come out with a four blade version!

In all seriousness, why would you need two blades?

 

I wonder if we would get a BBS or DFS with it.......NOT!

 

Well... well... well... guess what. I bought one of these monsters about three mos. ago, talk about donating blood. I thought it would be more like my Atra, only with "real" blades that you could change when dull. Not a chance. The blades are too far apart. I had one blade on top of my chin and the other below.
And on top of that, it`s like using two straits at the same time, ugh. To tighten the handle, you must hold it by the ends, ok... this is the craziest part, the ends of the blades stick out quite a bit, so now I have two scars on my left thumb. Now I`m trying to off load it to someone who has enough experience to make good use of it. I wouldn`t wish it on someone as dumb as me. Surely there is someone out there that could make it work. Well, wish me luck.

God Bless and thanks for the post.

 

Wow Bill, thanks for the review and safety briefing!
