Still waiting on my type A repeating razor, tracking says it is delayed, it is in Tampa I hope I get it this week!
USPS used to ride horseback across the plains to deliver peoples mail on time, now we have all the technology in the world and can't get it right.
Waiting on the DeFitch v2.0 razor. Their description: "DeFitch has gone back to the drawing board and returned with the revitalized DF91 double-edged safety razor! Our vastly improved model features a 3.6" long solid brass handle that has a gleaming, long-lasting chrome plated finish. The razor head has been refined and honed to a beautifully even finish and provides the perfect blade gap to get an extremely smooth shave."
I happened to ask them about the likelihood of getting these delivered before xmas and their answer, a few minutes ago, was: "if you're in the USA or Canada, barring a manufacturing emergency, we expect you'd receive your pre-order before Christmas" So, looking rather promising.
I have yet to decide if I need the v2.0 as well as my v1.0 is really working great for me..... Hmmmmm.........
If I remember right besides fixing the cap they redesigned the baseplate so the blade rides evenly now and with the new MiM process they now have better finish and color matching with the all three base plates and the cap. Looks lot better to me than V1 that I have seen in reviews.
Oh don't get me wrong - I think it looks miles better than v1. Almost to the point where I have convinced myself it's worth getting. Btw, even though changing baseplates to get the aggression you want seems like a drag and a hassle - it's really not. It's surprisingly fun.
That is what I like about it especially for the price of having six options available at any give time.
I don't know if you made it through my rather lengthy shave reports but there is a very distinct difference between the baseplates. Darn...I have almost talked myself into getting the v2 now.
LOL, Yes I remember reading your review of the S6. I couldn't get a direct answer from Rockwell back then regarding the top cap issue so didn't pull the trigger then.
Im stoked to have found the open comb version(C2) to go along with my closed comb (C1). Now if everybody will stay off Ebay this weekend and let me get that C3, I will be a happy camper.....
