Trying to predict what razor will have the biggest buzz throughout 2016. Here's a first wild stab... Anyone have anything to add/change? Note: These are ALL predictions/guesses! January: - Blackland's Blackbird - Seygus February: - Art of Shaving releases two LE Gillette Tech-like razors. - Barbaros March: - The Single Edge by Supply Provision - IBC Shavette color options April: - The General by Colonial Razors May: - The Bunny by @twhite June - OC month: - @ShaneS announces The Blackbird OC head - Mongoose announces its OC base plate July: - iKON SE August: - Classic Shaving launches a new 'Cobra' version replacing the King Cobra - "The Emperor Cobra". September: - The Beluga razor. Believe it or not but I think it will come out October: - New Injector razor released by startup heavily inspired by Schick Type A - The Falcon. Will it ever fly? We'll see.. Fingers crossed. November: - The Zaffiro razor finally hits the market at $199 December: - The OneBlade will have a holiday sale at $150/razor
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 Glenn
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
