Good news, the first 200 seem ready to ship out to customers/backers. Quick update: Update May 7th 2018 Posted by QSHAVE (Creator) Hi all, The first batch of Parthenon razors about 200 pcs are ready. Looking good! We are doing the final quality check and packaging. We will ship them out based on the backer number. The rest of razors are already in production. They will be ready very soon. Regards, QSHAVE TEAM
It's good to see they're exceeding their time commitments, even after making a change to the head. A change like that to the Rockwell Model T would have cost at least a 3 month slip (and i'm not exaggerating). Has anyone seen a retail price on this razor yet?
I believe it will stay at the $49.99 price mark but with no blades. If you go to the Qshave website, it's been posted there for awhile with that price point.
Thanks. That seems like a terrific price for a razor with those features. My guess is if the reviews are just decent, they'll sell a ton of them.
Excellent results from their start up to production of units. And very transparent on a couple of their issues with the black coated razor and shipping snafu. Very well done on their part with good customer service to back it up.....
Hopefully, we'll see some reviews soon. The lack of reviews for the model T is curious and suggests not many folks have received their razor. Rockwell has been rather opaque with the number of razors actually shipped, even when asked directly several times. QShave tells their backers exactly how many razors they're shipping and when.
Many users have reported receiving their razors and a couple provided mini-reviews. Also, there were a couple of reported issues with the adjustment mechanism and coatings, which QShave addressed immediately. Overall, it seems like a well run campaign. QShave has been very transparent when issues arise and have worked to get their product out ahead of schedule. Some quality issues on the first full-production runs are expected and the number of defective razors will go down as more razors are produced. Folks who backed this product should be pleased (I missed out). Congratulations.
I did not back this project, but I did pre-order. I just received shipping notifications that my black handled razor shipped. I was surprised. I guess that means they completely fullfilled KS commitments and are now working through pre/early orders.
Looking forward to your review, there are some excellent features on this razor I like as a engineering perspective with the TTO and the grooved safety bar. Not sure what the material they used but Weishi has been around so quality should be up there IMO.
Same here, got news my black Parthenon was shipped last Monday. I read that they had issues with the black finish, so they were delayed. Looks like we were put in the same shipment.
I just got mine... Looks good, feels even better, I think this will be the main razor, heavier then the Slim adjust and the handle is even longer then the Slim Twist. Will do the first shave tomorrow.
