Thank you! After a few modifications and another shave, I'm now convinced that this razor is far from being a novelty. It will definitely stay in my rotation. Definitely unique.

It's... alive!
Yep, they're really nice shavers.
Looks a lot like the original.
I wonder, if you made the head's back side smaller (think like e.g. here: View: https://www.instagram.com/p/BVcTANEFe06/
), would it then be possible to add a little hinge so that you could squeeze the back of the head of the razor to widen the entry gap, so you could just drop a blade in there and it would seat itself that way, too?

Great work Andreas.I've made a major change to the Caerbannog razor!
You can now plug the rabbit hole with a rabbit insert...
OK... maybe it's not a major change, but the file for the rabbit insert is available if you want to add another splash of colour.
I noticed that you posted a 'plain' handle on thingiverse, not an additional Caerbannog one. Was that deliberate?

Yes. Deliberate.
I like the name, but I didn't warm to the writing on the handle.
It's more elegant plain.

Interesting idea. I played with it for a bit and it just might work. The head can only be shortened so much before the wall structure is compromised near the thread. With such a small tolerance on a small print, a physical hinge would be difficult. There's enough flex on the blade-stop using a single wall and enough strength when printed on its side to act as a hinge. I'll do a test print. and if it works, I'll throw on Thingiverse.Yep, they're really nice shavers.

This is my current GEM razor project almost finished.
This 3d printed SE razor is a real minimalist. The blade is locked in place with pressure from the handle. Will see how the lather flows thru and out the back. Hopefully not too messy. To load, the blade is inserted from the back and it's then secured up against the top when the handle is in place.

I've been playing around with the animation capabilities of my 3D design software.
As the design of the "Slantibartfast" is almost ready for having a prototype printed, here is a little movie.
I think the magnet joint will be strong enough if your shaving technique is up to scratch.
If it isn't... use a different razor.
The final design will use a plain handle again.
I'm looking forward to this properly mad razor.

Looks awesome! I'm assuming you would have to apply a lot of pressure on your face for the magnets to separate. And if they do, it'll give you a nasty reminder that you are not using proper technique.I've been playing around with the animation capabilities of my 3D design software.

For them to separate you'd need to apply well over one kilogram of pressure.Look awesome! I'm assuming you would have to apply a lot of pressure on your face for the magnets to separate. And if they do, it'll give you a nasty reminder that you are not using proper technique.
Less force is needed to rotate the head, but it's still quite a lot.
The magnets have a strong urge to be aligned, but the holes for them are slightly offset.
This will force the round part of one half of the joint against the "lip" on the other and should create extra friction. I think.
The prototype hinge I had printed gives enough resistance already to hold the angle.
The proof of the razor is in the shave though.

Clever idea to offset the magnets. I have a couple of lather catcher designs that are just not coming together. Magnets might be the answer. Hmmm, back to the drawing board.

I should find out soon if it's a clever idea or not.
Modern magnets are amazingly strong.
I'm also toying with the idea of using clothes peg springs.

It uses my favourite blade and the angle looks shallow enough.
I'd have that printed right away if I had the files.
(Need a beta tester?)

Lol... Let's make it official. "Beta testers needed for this one of a kind two-piece, no moving parts, minimalist GEM style SE compact razor".It uses my favourite blade and the angle looks shallow enough.

I'll upload the files on Thingiverse later today after a small modification to the handle.
