Or tried to. Some of that is voodoo, so we'll see if changes to shave actually improved anything. Can always make further changes. Top cap is now a bit more streamlined. I'll post some more pix soon.

This is really cool! I like the step by step explanation and pictures of your development of this razor. Thank you for sharing all of this!

I have fun doing it and it helps to get the word out!

Well, I want to make a couple more changes to the razor. I am a sick perfectionist. Taking the blade gap to .58 from .6, increasing the shave angle by one degree to 31 degrees, exposing an additional 5 thou of blade, and taking one thou off the perimeter of the blade holders, which are a little too closely toleranced. Seems like very little, but it will make a difference. It will be a bit more time before I'm ready to release prototypes. This should do it, though.

Can we try this in March?
Thanks!

Won't be ready by then, have a run of Ti 2 razors to do first. More like early June. Register on my website, and you will be informed of all product releases in plenty of time.

Prototyping is done, though. Sending out a couple for beta testing, so you should start seeing some reviews.

Are you sending one to Mo at Grooming Dept? Hope so. He is a genius and would love to see how it performs with his soaps. Assuming you will be sending one to Phil at Bullhoose as well. Anyone else we should keep an eye on that will get one?

Mohammad is one of two. Phil is getting one but won't be reviewing it. The other guy ... I don't actually know his screen name, just real name!

Ready to start testing in Russia. I will refund all expenses. Reports on Russian-language forums will be, testers will be a lot on one razor!
