Hello everyone,
As you know, Chloe joined the Atelier DURDAN two months ago. Thanks to her expert hands in razor finishing, I have been able to free up some time to move forward on the following items:
- We have invested in a new CNC milling machine. While our current machine works well, its flimsy structure leaves a lot of machining marks that we have to remove by hand. The new machine should arrive within a month if all goes well, and will bring unparalleled manufacturing quality and reduced production time.
- We are in the process of developing the purchase of tribofinishing machines that are used to automatically remove much of the burrs and machining marks. Development is underway and I will share more information on this soon.
- Finally, I am working on the development of a new GEM blade shaver, which is coming along nicely. I will share photos of this unique razor in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your attention and continued support. Please feel free to ask questions or share your comments.

How do you name this beauty?
I'd like to see images of the razor alone, with no stand.
The handle looks gourgeous.

Vestige
We are proud to introduce our latest razor, the Vestige, which perfectly embodies the spirit of innovation and quality of Atelier DURDAN. Designed to offer an unparalleled shaving experience, Vestige combines smoothness, efficiency and lightness without compromise.

With a featherweight of only 40g, blade mounted, the Vestige is an ultra-light shaver that respects the guiding principles of our workshop. Several technical innovations have been made to push the limits of performance and comfort when shaving. Inspired by our La Faulx razor, the Vestige takes the concept a step further by offering a near-zero GAP. The cut is generated by gaps across the width of the base plate, while 0.3mm islands ensure optimal cut control in all conditions.

The Vestige will be available in a variety of aggressiveness levels to meet individual preferences. Its sleek, highly maneuverable handle features an additional innovation: a tapered base that makes it easier to fit the razor while reducing mounting clearance to zero.

While the Vestige's lightweight design seems ideal for a titanium version, we will also be testing a stainless steel version to give our customers additional choice.

This looks stunning. Have to admit this has peaked my interest for a GEM razor, wonderful design.

Today, I'd like to tell you about the technical advances underway in our workshop. First of all, I'm delighted to inform you that we recently received a new 3-axis machining center from Tsugami. After the usual ups and downs of getting a new machine up and running, I was really looking forward to getting started on the razor heads. It's been done for a few days now, and everything's working perfectly. In fact, the first tests have been very conclusive!
But in concrete terms, what does it change? First of all, thanks to its linear axes and guides, this machine is exceptionally precise. This means that there is no longer any play in the axes, which translates into far fewer deep machining marks. Parts are now manufactured with very few defects to be reworked. So we're going to save time in this process and reduce production lead times, which were getting longer and longer until now.
The second aspect I'd like to discuss with you is the new possibility of offering shavers with a machined finish, enabling us to sell them at lower cost. If you are interested, please let me know.
I'd be delighted to answer any questions you may have, or to provide you with more information on these new technical advances. Thank you all for your attention!
