Atelier DURDAN Prototype SE AC

[Masamune]

Could be more compact but it's hardly a WR3. I find the Vector head too small. Without a two piece design it is going to be tricky to create a slimline head.

@Atelier Durdan - will there be a GEM format razor later on?

@bartje-p
Point taken, thank you for clarifying.

@Atelier Durdan I don't understand the sense of the internal space and the serrated edge.

 

[Atelier Durdan]

Is there a particular reason to have the lather slot split in two?

Yes it's to keep a good rigidity on the safety bar

 

[Atelier Durdan]

That looks very nice. It also looks quite aggressive with the blade gap and semi-open comb bar?

Yes the idea is to keep the benefits of both open and closed combs with this comb. So both large foam release and a large offset GAP zone for a deep cut, all without too much risk of cutting.
I will tell you more after future tests

A big advantage of AC type razors is the small head, compared to a DE razor. From the pictures, It seems this advantage is missing, in other words, the head seems way to big for such a nimble blade? And what about the weight of the razor, any ideas there?

I chose a powerful and versatile blade clamp (Which accepts all the thickness of this type of blade).
Yes, this has an impact on the size and weight of the head, but I would like to offer my entire range of materials from Le Maurice afterwards.
It will not be possible from a mechanical point of view to make a durable copper or bronze razor with a split thread.

thanks for clarifying and ofcourse curious to see how it will look and work in the finalized product. Thanks!
