Parthenon Razor - adjustable for superb shaving comfort

They said from the beginning that when they were ready to ship they would ask for my address and charge my paypal.  They sent an email asking for my address and my paypal now says pending, so maybe they are ahead of schedule?  Who knows.

Have you had an update yet as to shipping/approximate delivery time?

Just that the shipping date is still June. They haven't charged my paypal account yet. I guess they will when it is shipped.

Thanks for the reply. Curious that they are already on the Qshave site which would indicate they are ready,yet backers still have not received any.I would love to have one,but would need to see reviews first as I am on a very tight budget.Also our exchange rate bumps the price here in Australia,so the $49 becomes around $65 dependant on the day.Puts a lot of razors out of reach for me.

Not sure if anybody has got them yet either way whether QShave or kickstarter backers.

Just a quick update on the Parthenon Adjustable razor.
Yesteday, on their KS follow thread, I posted a question to the creators of the Parthenon razor concerning the lather exits/holes on the bottom of the razor. A member had mentioned it previously here that it might be an issue with clogging and rinsing, can't remember who the member was, but I asked as it was a valid point and here was their response:

Looking forward to this razor and how it will shave. If it performs as good as it looks, this can change the wet shaving landscape in terms of quality, performance and affordability. From your last update on April 11th, are you still on target to meet the projected delivery time frame of June? Also, if I may ask. Is there a reason for going to circular lather/hair exits rather than the traditional longer, rectangular or ovalized lather slots that run the length of the razor under the safety bar? Would those exit holes make rinsing out the razor more necessary than others? Not saying that it won't work, just would like to know if you see an advantage over the traditional lather slot exits. Thanks in advance....

Regards,
Augustin

@Augustin J, yes we are still in the schedule. Actually the first 300 pcs are already in the coating process, and will be assembled in early May

About the circular exits (if I understand it correctly you are referring to the eight holes on the bottom of the blades holder), these exits were designed for rinsing the razor, and we were hoping these holes could guide the water flow, and keep the razor dry. After dozens of testing, we found out they weren't helping, and might be chocked up with the mix of lather/hair. We have removed these exits on the mass production versions. But don't worry, the razor has plenty open areas on the both sides and bottom, the razor can be easily rinsed.

So, to their credit they did some R&D and figured out that the lather holes were a no go. Now, concerning the exits on the sides if that will suffice, I don't know. And I don't see any other exits on the bottom of the base plate unless they are incorporating that into their production models. Remains to be seen. On another note, they are on schedule to getting these razors out. Good news, I think.....

Shipping the first 200. The latest update:

Hi all,

The first batch of Parthenon razors about 200 pcs are ready. Looking good! We are doing the final quality check and packaging. We will ship them out based on the backer number.

The rest of razors are already in production. They will be ready very soon.

Regards,

QSHAVE TEAM

it looks like I'll be shaving with it soon, in fact, a lot sooner than the model T by the looks of things.

Backer 263. Guess I'll be waiting a little bit longer.

245 here, so next batch.

Made in China and taking names! and by the looks of the pic, even blade gaps... Too early to speak though, time will tell once reviews start coming in

I also missed out on the first 200 backer- 230. Anyone here get in on the first 200?
