Shave review of Janus Adjustable razor and Shave Off vs Gillette F4 Toggle

let's get those questions stacked up for Eric in the AMA thread since he'll only be around for a short window to comment!

Any news for v2??? I am still saving my money.. Hope he will bring it.

I’m interested in purchasing his next razor too.

If there is one........do we have any confirmation that he is still working on a version 2?

Last time I corresponded with Eric he was looking for a manufacture-marketing partner and he had a V2 design completed.  I'll shoot him a text and see if he will reply with an update.

Thank you Sledge . . . Me and my friend are very interested.  Keep us posted.  Hopefully the V2 shaves closer to the Prototype.

Heard back from Eric:

I have 4 optimized designs locked and loaded.

Non adjustable TTO
Non adjustable Toggle

However I still haven't found a manufacturing partner that is both capable and willing to take on the project.  Usually is 1/2 the criteria present and I know that won't work based on the challenges I encountered.  

The local shops have way to much "good" work to keep them busy - lots of med device companies are keeping the busy with less complex work and volumes in the the thousands to tens of thousands.   I still talk to at least one MN CNC shop a month. Yeah I have almost exhausted the CNC shops in MN.

I told him I would spread the word and with luck someone who wants to assist can help him get in touch with a manufacturing partner who is game to do the work.  

The 4 designs for the Janus Toggle V2 must have taken many hours of work.  I hope he can find a good shop.  Glad to hear that he hasn't given up.

I also spoke with him today. I hope he gets an opportunity to make his items.
For me, he is the most unique artisan in wet shaving, as well as a very good person.
I also talked with my father in Turkey, 
and he is going to check on a couple of his friends and business partners who own machine shops.
