Greetings
It certainly looks ok and the price is reasonable sensible and realistic but as you rightly point out the market is full of the bloody things, every man and his dog has either designed and marketed one; has one in the design stage or is considering designing one. I am lost as to why as yet there still remains no new SE razor to take a standard SE blade, I am sure the design would be no more and probably less taxing than building a razor for the artists club type blades.
Is it the case that it is me who is wrong and because of my liking for the less sharp standard SE blades and my dislike of the artists club blades I think there would be a real market for such a razor when in fact there would not be?
I suppose that making an 'ordinary' SE razor taking GEM blades does require a fresh start whereas with the current rash of offerings it would appear to this lay mans eye that the job is at least half done when you can take the Mongoose and tweek it a bit, or is that being too unkind. Likewise with 'ordinary' SE's there are plenty of good models to draw inspiration from, dozens and dozens in fact.
Anyway El Jefe (if I wanted an artists club bladed SE which I don't) looks the best bet so far because it's priced like a razor and not a Rolex watch
, even if it is (in my eyes) an ugly old bugger!
