I have come to the conclusion that I will not longer wait with bated breath for a BBS-1, Wolfman, Timeless, or any other stainless steel "gift of the gods" razor. It seems that an announcement about these wonderful, must-have, sell your first-born to acquire wonders are followed by an endless waiting list, which more often than not is closed, to get your hands on a razor that is manufactured by some guy in his garage who is putting out six a year.
The demand for these razors is beyond any semblance of reality; not just for one, but for all of them. Stainless steel razors have become the iPhones of the current generation of wet shavers. If they were sold in shops, people would be lining around the block and queueing at 3:00 am to get their foot in the door.
Would I be one of them? Probably, but reality dictates that only a very few of us are ever going to get their hands on one in the next ten years, and at my age, I think the odds have passed me by.
I will content myself with a 6s, and ask the gods to afflict those who do receive their gifts with poxes and boils. You have been warned @Darkbulb.
The problem is that your reviews of these razors just stoke the fires of our RAD. I'm sure I'm not alone.Nothing wrong with the 6s - it's a great razor
For me, after using probably 150+ DE razors the BBS-1 ended up being the RAD killer. I hope everyone can get to that point regardless of what razor they end up with.
I kept buying razors even though I'd bought the Merkur 39c and used it 19 out of 20 times. I know that the 6s (if I buy it) will get relegated to "weak sister". I don't know what drives this insanity!Wouldn't bother yourself about not getting one Steve.
Out of the three you mention the Wolfman was my favourite but I sold it on, just like the BBS-1 and Timeless. Non of them performed any better than my H-2, #15, #77, Canadian Tech and Wilko Hydro 5.
What drives you is "Is this razor going to be the best thing I've ever shaved with" and the answer is no.I kept buying razors even though I'd bought the Merkur 39c and used it 19 out of 20 times. I know that the 6s (if I buy it) will get relegated to "weak sister". I don't know what drives this insanity!
