I just saw this razor at Waitrose in store.
https://www.evoshave.com/
£4.99 for the razor (with one cartridge?)
£5.99 for four DE cartridges.
Interesting, the cartridges are DE (single blade each side), but I let it go...
Has anyone tried one of these yet?

I'm tempted but for 2 reasons. 1) its not a DE its calling it self dual edge and 2) the finger grip looks really sh%t. Lol this is where someone at industrial design college should have stopped with their work being proof of concept rather than try and have a solution then look for a problem to fix with it lol. "Necessity is the mother of invention" but not right here.

That being said if they gave it to me for free i'd be more than happy to shave with it.

They were half price at Waitrose a short while ago and I couldn't resist.
I did shave with it today and what can I say? It's alright of sorts.
It being a double-edged cartridge you can shave in two directions in one move.
That quickly becomes confusing. I don't mind handleless razors, but this one leaves me cold.
The (probably East-) German blades are not the smoothest.
I have had closer shaves and the alum and aftershave had complaints.
Overall not too bad, but more a curiosity than a revolution.
All in all well worth the money as a prop to practice my 360-degree photo technique.

It's... alive!
I got me one of these last year and I had to chuck the blades after 2 or 3 shaves. They didn't seem to cut that well when new, either. :-/
