in Jan 2020. What is adding to the schedule is I've time in there for checking stuff even after the machinists have checked the parts. I trust the shop but I need to do this for peace of mind. Additionally, I'm producing the parts sequentially instead of multiple parts at the same time. One part gets produced and then the mating part is next and so forth...I've double checked stuff over & over but I wanna follow this slow & steady process.

Yes, I will be selling off my website. I will add a SHOP button on my website when I have all the razors spoken for.

Plus for the tricky parts such as those milled from blanks, I wanna be present when the first good parts off the set-ups are being checked. There is a fine line between being present and being in the way of folks doing their work.

So Eric I'm sure members would like to know now that you've given a timeline on when the razor will be released will you at this time comment on the projected price of the Limited edition Janus and also on all the changes you've made to it. I know you mentioned to me the increase in efficiency where you said comparing it to the prototype that the new production version would be even more so. You mentioned that the current setting of 3 on the prototype will be a 1 on the production version. Am I correct?

Eric,
when will your site be open to take orders?

You are correct about the blade exposures being more in this final design over the prototype you test drove. Add 0.002" to each setting in the prototype to get what the final design is at.  

After this first batch, the machine shop will know exactly what it costs to produce each part. They will adjust their prices to me for each part accordingly. I will then adjust my selling price and tack on a reasonable profit. So I can almost say with 100% certainty that if I do production units after this, I will be selling for more than $500. I'm also looking at distribution...I've spoken with a few local shops that carry men's accessories so I will have to consider how I price the product so that it makes sense for them to carry the Janus Razor.

As soon as I have 51, I will email all on the list about when the buy button will become live. I will also post here when the button is active.

So then we will not be "buying" them quite yet ? When should we be expected to being paying for them ? This is not an inexpensive razor and some may need to safe up some money before hitting the "buy" button on the credit card.

How does one become one of the 50?
