Option 5 razor

[Blademonkey]

Anyone still in possession of and/or using the Option Five razor? More to the point, has anyone heard any more from or about the maker, or indeed anything about why it was there one minute and gone the next?

Have you got any pics of the razor, it's a new one on me!

I still like the looks of it. And it is a good razor as well.
But it is not SE so it remains unused for the last 6 years by now.

I still have mine. Call it an investment or an unloved razor in a drawer.
They went out of business I suppose.
Cost of production bigger than sales.
Computer at bank says "NO".
They all go and ask if they can please have their old jobs back.
The end.

P.S.: I just checked - it's still in its box in a drawer.
P.P.S.: OMG! There are hundreds and hundreds of DE blades in that drawer. Are they breeding?

Ah yes, I remember now.
I didn't like the look of it at all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we can't all love the same things .
Thank you for the pictures.

I sold mine a while back.
Not a bad razor, I liked the looks, too, but a bit less smooth then I prefer, and I didn't like the bulk of the base plate area and I wasn't too keen on the shape of the handle.
At the same time, I don't think I actually had a bad shave with it, just not as nice as I'd have liked.
