I almost went for this razor in the original Kickstarter launch, but a couple of unhappy experiences with other projects on there put me off.
As I like AC-type razors, this one has cropped up again in my reckonings, and it seems to be available at a reasonable price from Classic Shaving in the USA. I'd probably go for the original 1.0 rather than the OREN version, as I don't like the skeleton handle on the latter, and I'm not too bothered about needing a reduced "comb". The possible need to load a blade with a tool/key doesn't bother me either. The screw change heads may be a bit of a challenge, but I haven't lost my Supply screw down the plughole (yet), so that's not a concern.
As with many new(er) razors, it seems to be another "Marmite", with nothing between love and hate; with, apparently, the lovers in a slight majority.
Before I do anything, I'd appreciate any information on it, from anyone who has, or had, one of these, in either version.
Thanks.
