Tedalus Velocity-One

I just rotated the pic for everyone here, it appears similar to the BB Ti or slightly thinner.  That is an awesome selection of modern razors.  I might have to dig out one of my less used razors today for a shave after seeing this!  

What is the second razor from the left?

Many thanks my friend!

Great selection indeed, congrats Korii !
The second from left is Smart Helix Apollo Light, I believe?

Thank you! Its a smart Helix Apollo light - right. Tried to have slim ones like carbon and Apollo to bulky like Blackbird and Timeless.

There are only a few left I heard from Manuel. Still very happy with mine.

They make beautiful razors！

Tedalus Velocity One #088

Of course you want such an expensive one to shave well - no what am I saying - it has to be the best shave ever otherwise I'm disappointed because expensive = better. Or?
Nevertheless, I try to be as neutral as possible.

Criticism first:
The finish on the inside of the top cap. Matt. No brushed or polished. When asked, it was said that the finish was very time-consuming and would have simply caused unnecessary costs, so it was left as plain as it was. However, it will be taken as a criticism and we will see if there is a simple solution for a better finish.
The handle is grippy but I would have liked it to be a bit more grippy. Possibly a slightly deeper knurlinh, at least in the upper part. Possibly some kind of gradient of the Knurling.
Changing the blade is easy but you have to be careful not to slip and cut yourself due to the polish and rounding.
A typing error in the Razor Pass - Lenght - Length.

The shave:
The shave went differently than expected.
With a gap of .89 and neutral exposure, I did not expect it to be or want to be the most efficient razor.
The neutral exposure was also one of my concerns, but you always have to look at the overall concept behind a razor. Not every razor has to or should fulfill XXXX. No one can do everything. This one comes close. Wink.
Loaded with a Feather - which was included - I got to work.

The angle was easy to find, but despite the "given" angle, it has a relatively large cutting angle. Whether steep or flat - it cuts - but it still has its sweet spot in between.

It is wonderfully balanced in the fingers and can be guided very well. You hardly notice its own weight.
The blade is pleasant to feel but beyond good or bad. So much blade that you can feel it working but never too much or too little. It sounds unagitated, not a screamer but a quiet journeyman that does its work effortlessly.
The polished areas glide over the skin and really mow down everything thoroughly. No sucking sensation, simply a pleasure. It was allowed to work on a few areas twice, but even my Wolfman has some problems with this as my head is a bit "hilly" in some places.

I was really superbly smooth without any grumbling of the skin, cuts or discomfort.

I was really surprised by the durability - the Feather lasted around 14/15 hours, which is right up there with me. A Rocnel Sailor, a Wolfman 1.55, an Atelier Durdan 1.6 or others that are more gripping can do that.
Based on this time, I can objectively say that it is very good.

Of course, it doesn't pull tracks like a Wolfman 1.55 or Rocnel Sailor level 5, but it's not supposed to, but for the values it has, I'm really impressed without wanting to sound like a fanboy or talk myself up.
I'm impressed that he really delivers such performance but is still so smooth and enjoyable. That is its strength.
It's mild, comfortable and safe but gives an extremely smooth, easy efficient shave.
It definitely needs a sharp blade though - I'm going to try a Nacet, Astra or Rapira but I think the Feather is very very suitable.

Is it worth 800€ or rather - is it twice as good as a XXXX or or or. It's always worth what you're prepared to spend.
It's not twice as good, but it's definitely superior in all respects and for me it's unfortunately worth the money, even if I would of course prefer a different price.
The polish, the finish, the design, the shave are all worth it to me.
I would like to offer you a private passaround so that you can see how great it is, but unfortunately I can't "take responsibility" for that.

I am really more than happy with this purchase.

The Tedalus Safety Razor is a true masterpiece, not only does it perform well, the fit and finish is outstanding. 

It’s the perfect combination of brushed and polished finish. I own several safety razors, but this is my favorite.

Firstly, let’s get price out of the way, yes, it’s expensive, but if you are in the fortunate position to be able to afford and justify a purchase of this value then it’s worth every penny…but YMMV again 

It’s a smooth shaver and I truly apprecite the packaging like a Swiss watch that’s another reason I got it and made in Luzerne where my family is and where is horology 

Hope you enjoy it!!

I borrowed one, had 3 shaves with it.  I can say only that it is OK.  There are many razors I would seek out first.

Fair assessment and I agree!

How can they produce a razor at such a bargain price?
