What are you waiting on to arrive...?

You guys will have to check with @twhite about a pass around. I am not sure he is ready for that yet, but maybe. I am glad to have the opportunity to try out Igor.

 

What is Igor ?

 

Aluminum, adjustable, single edge razor built by @twhite.

Pronounced eye-gore.

 

See the photo in Jim's post above yours. While some members purchase vintage hardware, polish it up, and bring it back into service - we also have Craftsmen, Artist, and Designers that conceive and build new gear. Tom @twhite is on the bleeding edge of razor development. His prototype injector, The Bunny, has traveled the world in passarounds being tested and enjoyed my many TSD members.
Igor looks to me to be a Single Edge razor, but I'm uninformed.

 

I know. You have Vintage razors and you have modern artisan razors. I like em both. I think it's great people want to manufacture modern DE and SE razors. I just didn't read the entire conversation, I was to lazy to look it all up.

I really need to be on a soap no-buy for the rest of the year (and probably a few more after that), but who are we kidding...

You are correct. Igor takes modern SE blades. Igor is about middle of road when dialed all the way up.

There are no plans to make more. This is the one and only.

I quite like the German 37 Slant. I get great shaves with mine.

When I first started out I had a Hoffritz slant which I just didn't get along with. I fully expect to feel better about this one knowing how my technique has improved.

I'm a newbie! Can't wait to get started!

 

That's a nice start, @Smooth Operator . Welcome to TSD.

Great! I just did!

 

That's a gorgeous razor. What is it?

It's a Parker 65r. It's handle (and great reviews) had me sold! In some pics it looks black, but it's actually a lovely sandstone finish with gold engraving. I'll link a video that really shows it off. Can't wait to see it in person!

Looks like a clone of the DE89 head so it should be a nice shaver.

 

Good to know! I'm excited for it to arrive tomorrow. Preparing for my first ever DE shave, woohoo!

 

That is a beautiful razor. Parker is making great razors now. My Variant is my favorite DE razor.
Enjoy.

 

I'm waiting for Colonial to release their SS General. It should be soon -- originally slated for late September.
