    As good a prediction as any
    I see the Seygus and Barbaros making a splash in the first half of 2016
    Hope the Falcon gets up and running by year end

    If you had to guess...what month would you pick? :)

    Good call on Seygus and Barbaros.
    I think Seygus is already selling at limited quantities so putting them in January.
    Barbaros is slated to hit the market first week of Feb so I placed them there.

    The Falcon..sigh..yeah....I'll be honest in that personally I don't think it'll happen...but hey, you never know...I plunked them down for November :)

    Funny, I had the exact same thought..but I thought I'd "give" him a few more months ;)

    Yes, I'll add that you are unmercifully teasing the NB16 Community.

    Probably around March. I know he held back quite a few from the initial shipment to do some customized stuff. I just checked and he's down to 63 razors in stock, so he might accelerate the colored razors to as early as February.

    Ferrari Red is going to be my guess for the first color. Might be a toss-up between that and pink though. Black will almost certainly make an appearance as well.

    The One Blade is going to be $150 in this coming December?

    Having said that... OneBlade did "like" my tweet about this list...so who knows ;)
    The guess was based on last year's $194 December price that apparently went really well for them.

    $150 is a price I could like/buy at. But not $300.

    Yeah, if I hadn't seen the $194 offer last month I doubt I would had ever tried it.
    Having said that I'm very happy I did as I really love the razor.

    @twhite Just noticed Tom - you're not 'slotted' until May (not April) - so you have a whole more month :)

    youngunn Where's my TSD aftershave balm???

    Yeah if the oneblade was $150 I'd have to convince the wife to let me dip into the savings for that. That'd be awesome.

    Great thread idea DB...

    I can't add anything to this as I don't have my ear to the razor grounds like you do. But I would love to try to get a seygus pass around started. That razor intrigues me.

    The Single Edge Custom actually sounds very appealing and is a decent price point.

    Anyone can add pictures so I know what we are talking about? Been a month on TSD and still have no clues at a lot of things.
