However, here is what I would prefer to see in a new (SE) razor:
BladeType: Half-DE
Size: Medium (top-to Bottom 85-100mm)
Weight: Incl. handle ~70-100gr
Thickness handle: 12-13mm
Ease of cleaning is of no importance to me
Adjustability is also of no importance
Medium effective razor
Mild on the skin (no R41 scrappiness!)
Symmetical blade gap
Easy of blade change
I think there is no real design line that leads from a Schick repeating razor to a gillette tech heavy handle.
Although I think the Schick Repeating is a clever design, I can't say anything about the usability and feel, as I never used one.
Designwise I would say the Option5 is pretty cool as it takes up a new design for a DE, but it is a bit too hefty.
Especially the anodized look I really like.
Re the Schick Repeating Razors the two obvious design issues that impact shaving are the box shaped handle and folding head, both of which contribute to making it a handy travel razor but detract a bit from a pure shaving point of view.
