Have design poll, SE razor

[jmudrick]

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.

Essentially bart my boy, you want an injector style razor built to aristocrat dimensions.

But only if it is adjustable and can adapt for GEM blades.

@Fergiebilly did you ever hear anything more about that razor? You know the one you were going to beta test and review for us...........

 

[Mr Bigmem]

next 2 weeks im solidifying concepts then the rest of the month I am going to rough out a simple gem based critter.
First two weeks of December I plan on making a crude prototype for photographic work. Then if I haven't been left impoverished by the insurance man, im going to get a simple cad program and knock out a basic blue print.

Then when I have it "right" I HOPE to have a cad file in the hands of a fellow over in the UK who has a prototype machine. Then ill get it to billy in Scotland for first testing.

Can we at least see a sketch??????????

My Rockwell kickstarter should be here soon, so I'm keeping an eye open for an affordable single edge adjustable to encourage by backing ...
