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.
Any update?

a lot of folks don't believe a razor can use more then one style of blade. But the issue is, a lot of people believe what they read in the Sun with their morning toilet break. As a result, most people are not able to see things logically.
FWIW the first patent for what became the Shake Sharp contemplated the use of either single edge or standard DE blades.

Final redesign which scraps the SE and maximizes rigidity of the DE blade by way of the design of cap and base plate and resulting warping of the blade made it a better shaver.

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.
