Manual said he was going to send me one of those for testing a year or so ago. He expected to release it last spring, if I recall correctly. It's certainly unique looking. I predict it will be one of the more "audible feedback" type razors out there, looking at the baseplate and cap connection. Design-wise, it looks like a Blackland Blackbird and a Tedalus Essence had a love child. That's not a bad thing. I'm curious as to whether it will take the crown of King of DE razors as easily as the Essence became the King of Shavettes. Lot more competition in the DE market.
Certainly a beautiful-looking razor. The head from the side-view (narrow side) reminds me of a Progress, but with a smooth bar. The $64,000 question: How does it shave?

Would have loved that he send one for testing to you :-( I have tested it for about a year now, there where a whole lot of caps and baseplates tested before the end result appeared. Lots of problems also because it was difficult to find a factory that could produce it the way Manuel wanted (he insisted that from start to finish it was made in Switzerland) The handle I absolutely love, the shave is very smooth and efficient. If I have to compare it comes very close to the Paradigm Titanium II but even a smoother shave. Won’t comment on the price as I didn’t even know when testing. Eventually there will be reviews online. For me it’s a keeper (I only have 6 razors left in my den, this being one of them, but I have tested 300+ razors in the past 50+ years, btw I was also a tester of the Tedalus Essence, still love that shavette, best out of the 30+ ones I have used)
