The NEW Black Mamba

Mamba will be back soon.  I wanted to make it better,  thinner plate,  more precise and with 316L. It definitely won't be going up in price and may in fact be going down.

Fantastic attitude, razorock: It's so nice to see that your strategy is to take an almost universally praised razor and make it even better. I don't have an original Black Mamba, but am on the notification list for the new one.

Marko , Matsilainen thanks for the good advice: I didn't think there would be much difference in maintenance. I don't use abrasives on my razors, just the standard toothbrush, hot water, Dawn and sometimes Scrubbing Bubbles. Out of an abundance of caution, a spray with alcohol, air drying, and then a 10-minute Barbicide soak on a new addition to the den.

I'm very pleased with the performance of the razor based on a handful of shaves: They had an interesting video as part of their Kickstarter that demonstrated the glide on this coating compared to the uncoated and compared to the first version of their coating. This translated to a very smooth-feeling, effortless sensation while shaving.

While I still like the aesthetic of a shiny stainless razor, I'm very glad I got this.

And, of course, I'm looking forward to the new Black Mamba because...well, just because

Man, this is excellent news! I have zero complaints with my current Black Mamba, but I have actively sought a second one as back-up (I like it that much). razorock, where's the best place to watch for this? Or is signing up for email notification for the old model sufficient?

Yup, you got it

This will definitely be on my list of purchases this year. I got one of the first run of Baby Smooths but missed the Mamba. Now if the new Baby Smooth has a Mamba-like coating, that would be one hell of a razor.

What finish will they have and will they have the ikon bamboo handle(crossing my fingers)?

Will there be enough razor inventory to satisfy the demand, or will it be a free for all?

Over time, yes. We will continue to produce until everybody that wants one, gets one.

Fantastic!

Joe has posted a couple of ideas on twitter about the Mamba with a Ti handle and at a much lower price. I think it will be exciting.
