A whale of a razor?

The Beluga razor is a rather interesting concept: A single-edge razor that uses a double-edge blade and has a pivoting head like a cartridge razor. It is a little pricey, perhaps to be expected for a small initial run.

No, I'm not trying to astroturf the thing, and have no connection whatsoever to the manufacturer. I was just curious to see what you guys thought about the product. Does it look like a whale of a razor or just a beached whale?

Beached. I would rather purchase an iKon.

 

I feel iKon is overpriced too, but preferred over the Beluga.

 

There was a thread recently on this:

My opinion is that shaving with an unguarded pivoting blade would be more dangerous than shaving with a harpoon's blade edge

 

True but after the "Wavy Weber" deal I would rather pay more money and know I am getting a better product.

 

it looks more like a single blade cartridge than a SE that used DE blades

 

Did someone say Whale? AND razor in the same sentence?
To the Shave Cave, Tuna Boy !!!

I kind of like the idea and look of this (without a plastic handle)
