Zafirro: The Sapphire Blade Razor Back on Kickstarter

its multi blade. i dont care how sharp it is, the very reason i ceased using multiblade carts is that they clog. this will clog as well. as interesting it is,its not for me.

This was my concern. Cleaning the blades could damage them and at $39 a cart it's not something you'd want to be doing very often.....

I have taken the plunge though -looks like a beautiful piece of engineering.
 
I never bought into the 'carts clog' argument - it's a twin blade, which I started using in the 70s, and I've never had one clog - you just rinse sensibly/appropriately. I MIGHT pledge - for me the real concern is the pivot point - it seems to be modelled on the Mach 3 and its successors (rather than the Contour, Profile etc.) which I always think must be like shaving with a spoon ... :D

Never had any clogging issues with two-blade cartridges like the Atras but I do get it with the modern Mach3s.
 
you dont have to buy into it, it was fact. maybe not for all, but definitely for me.
i was using a brush and soap as well so nothing to do with my lather, i am guessing it is just the density of my stubble. i dont grow thick whiskers but i have a dense beard when it grows. just because you have not encountered a problem doesn't mean there isnt one. multi blade razors also lead to instances of ingrown hairs, the theory behind the design is sound but the practicalities undermine the concept.
 
I almost impulse backed. Then common sense took over.

Then I backed it anyways. Looks like it would make a great leg shaver for the missus. I can always back out if I change my mind. The razor comes with a cartridge, yes?

Ah good plan - I may do this with my missus. I'd love to see the look on her face when I tell her I've got her sapphires, only for her to open a box and see 'another bloody razor'

Lol. Well we would know who has brass balls and blackened eyes around here if you do. You know what they say, "pictures or it didn't happen." :p
 
Greetings

A razor blade that might last years? I get bored with using the same blade (and razor) two days running, whilst the thought of an almost everlasting blade might appeal to some, I suspect many men who hate shaving and hate buying blades but I honestly can't imagine it would appeal to too many of us here ie men with dozens of razors and different blades. Backing the project is however another matter and good luck to those who have.

Regards
Dick.
