A new razor comming

[Bauhaus]

Let’s be honest—it’s not easy to create a truly unique handle design. We’re somewhat limited by geometry, and any design might remind someone of another handle.

Just my opinion: razor ≠ handle. People can always use their favorite handle if they prefer. I personally like the handle designs shown above. TiBam handles look like Wolfman, Wolfman handles look like TiBam, and so on—it’s just how it goes.

I was just about to post a similar content, but you were a bit faster.

The second one kind of reminds me of the handle on the Kopparkant. Not the same, but they do look like cousins, with the Kopparkant having more pronounced stylisation.

I think similarities are ok. There have been so many handles designed and produced that coming up with something completely different is rather difficult, especially since I am aiming for simple and minimalistic design.
However, designing a knockoff is a different story.

It's not a straight knockoff anyway!

It's like some songs, that have similar rhythm but they are not the same song. Wolfman handles aren't unique either so...

Don't change them, I don't think anyone would think it's a blatant rip off from Wolfman.

And you can always feel free to give to the customers the head-only option..

But personally, this type of handle is my thing.

@dawid is very generous in his words above. I just said that he has a unique head and it deserves a great handle to match. These new designs are gorgeous! Everyone will be able to easily pick out his razor in a SOTD picture. I love the idea of a satin finish with the cuts made after for a bright contrast. I like the second one more and can't wait to see them in steel.

Congratulations to you for the idea as well.

Lovely handle designs @dawid. Definitely the top one for me. Somehow it suits the straight, precise look of the head better (there must be a better way to say that).

I consider us all very fortunate to be able to talk with the designer as he is doing his magic. The things we share help shape his razor. I feel lucky to be a part of this. Thanks, @dawid for letting us join you on this journey.

And he is also very fortunate to be able to talk with wet shaving legends, like Randy.

Jokes aside, I feel very privileged to be a part of this.

I totally agree, it is great to be part of this testing. For me, the top handle totally!

 

[pjgh]

Just call the handle 'Wolfman' ... like Wolfman have one called 'Darwin'

I had my final shave with Dawid‘s test razor this morning and I’m very curious to hear how the testing went for everyone else.

Once again, thank you very much for the opportunity @dawid!

I've completed the testing as well. Looking forward to feedback from the rest of the testers when the time comes!
Thanks @dawid for such a great opportunity! It was cool and fun and it made me happy!

 

[Randy]

Finished the testing as well in my secret lab

I was very persistent with one head, which feels very important to me. With this one, I shaved also with soaps & creams that I took from the bloody bin and I don't use them at all.

Thanks Dawid for the opportunity, it was an honour for including me in the beta phase.
