Very interesting. I am glad there will be other razors using the Feather Pro style blades. I don't see anything here that would make me consider getting one of these to go along with my Mongoose. I'm hoping that the Open Comb Mongoose base plate is released in the near future.
Is it really going to be that much. That is more expensive than the Mongoose isn't it? Nice looking razor though.
No website. They have a Facebook page. There is also a big thread on B&B forum as well as The Shave Nook. I feel they should put a website up.
It's beyond me why companies are so fascinated with making a razor for that blade and not the standard injector or single edge blades and charging a reasonable price.
What they said above. I wish that I still had my Schick Injector that I had when I was a kid. I would probably still be using it. I will find one.(some day)
It's an interesting question really. With the mongoose, this prototype, Cobra, etc all using that type of blade and not the more common SE blade it makes me wonder what the reasoning is? Wouldn't you as a manufacturer and wetshaver enthusiast pick a blade that you know people will have easy access to and probably would prefer to use? I don't think the decision to go with this type of blade was a hasty decision in any way so there must have been some reason why all recent manufacturers have gone with it. I just wonder what it might be.
I know the Mongoose team is testing a prototype Minigoose that uses the standard injector blade in a 3 piece design like the Mongoose. No idea if or when it will be produced. I used the Mongoose for 58 daily shaves at the start of the year with all the different types of blades available. I will be using both an I type and J type injector in the coming weeks so I'll better understand the differences between using an injector blades vs the artist club blades.
He actually said that if he brings this razor to market, that it will be less than $100 on FaceBook yesterday. I have no knowledge of SEs at all.
I guess copying designs is a great way to keep the R&D cost down and then couple that with charging people for your prototypes and you got a pretty sweet deal
I applaud all these vendors and adventurous folks for bringing new products onto the shaving scene. However, it seems to me it's just easier and cheaper to go out and get an injector razor. Readily available, inexpensive and work great. What's not to like about that?
