Well considering on how I will only get to use the razor for about 13 or 14 years before I have to give it up and then if I wanted one for myself I'd have to buy a second maybe the osprey isn't such a good option ...
My two favorite razors are the Fine Accoutrements Marvel Closed Comb and the Merkur Progress. I was happy to see Fine Accoutrements was offering it again now in OC. https://fineaccoutrements.com/de5-safety-razor/
If late 2022 in time for the Christmas season counts or like selling next year car models during the last quarter of the previous year then the shield razor might be a consideration. All titanium razor for under $100. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1102507762?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000061.1.4f677ccb9v2E07 You could buy a whole razor or buy it by the parts and do a set. 1 handle with matching finish DE, Gem SE, AC injector and half DE single edge razor heads.

Hi Andrew. Long time no post. For both of us. Like you I haven’t bought any shave gear in years and I’ve been off the boards for quite some time. Coincidentally, I bought a new razor this week and will be selling all my old razors on account of it. It’s truly a game changer. I’ve tried virtually everything and nothing shaves like the HENSON razor. About 70 bucks, milled by an aerospace company with some features no other DE razor I’ve owned has, and produces zero nicks zero weepers no matter how sloppily you try to shave with it. (It should be no surprise to you from our MAYhem days that I actually tried this). If you have good technique, it produces the closest shave I’ve ever experienced and does so in two passes (WTG/XTG). Cheers to you and the family!
Now if only we could get Perry @PLAla Jim @jluc Neal @NCoxSTL and Chris @Bama Samurai to stop by for the reunion, that'd be great!
