The image is two halves posted on IG - hence the black 'band' in the middle of the razor
And I feel I should clarify - I don't get a free razor (I paid $58 just like the lot of you) nor do I get any 'commission' or anything like that. I simply liked the look of it and ended up getting a code to share with you
Getting that code was the last straw. At the price, who could resist? Well, I couldn't.
Had a bit of PayPal balance so it would have been rude not to!
Thanks DB! Top man!!
Is this just not the "The Inscape Razor" as appeared on kickster but was not ssuccessful? https://www.kickstarter.com/project...-makes-shaving-slick?ref=category_ending_soonIt's not every day we see a razor come out that is;
- Designed in England,
- Manufactured in China, and
- Based/Shipped out of Switzerland.
Will this new entry onto the wetshaving scene - "Option Five" - that borrows design from both cartridge and DE razor styles - make an international splash next year?
Quick data points
Material: Nickel alloy.
Weight: 120gr/4.2 oz
Manufacturing: Cast
Cost: $64.90 / £52 - with free shipping right now for the initial product launch and X-Mas holiday season).
(Regular US shipping for instance will be $9)
Note: By using code "friendsofdarkbulb" you get 10% off - AND free international shipping (dropping the price to $58 shipped)
The razor has a rather unique look as far as DE razors goes;
The buttons on the side are for releasing the head (which by the way is designed in a way similar to Hone and Pils that hides the end-tabs of the blade. Maybe it's a European thing ).
Note:
I had a chance to chat live with John of Option Five earlier today and have provided him a link to this quick write-up so if there are any questions please feel free to ask away as John indicated he'd be happy to join and field any questions.
Maybe a forum pass-around, etc?

Hi John, and welcome to the forum,
To help show folks see what a great razor your guys have made, would you consider putting one of them up for a passaround?
@riverrun i'm sure would be willing to help set it up. With his vast experience of running so many successful pass arounds this could be a very good introduction to the UK and wider market. what do you think?
