New Concept - Variable weight & balance point razor handle.

[ischiapp]

Maybe its not crystal cear in the thread but thats the ultimate goal. Right now its fixed at purchase time. The product will evolve with time. Ultimately it will be 100% user adjustable.

Gotcha.
Fixed my post.

Have you got ETA? Price will change?

 

[p.b]

It might be too much hassle for most people.

Possibly, but I suspect those of us fussy enough to obsess over the centre of gravity will be motivated to make our own adjustments. I know I will be.

I am only awaiting the adhesive from UK. Price will not change and might even be cheaper. Standard offerings will be fixed price - total custom weight and balance will be $30 added fees for this work.

I am loathe to offer kits of parts for this as YAQI and co will in Like Flynn copying the idea. I at least want to get my R&D costs and time back before they start selling the 9 quid version

How this works?

This is right. When is the pairing point?

For a total custom option the user tells me where they want the weight and how heavy they want it to be within certain bounds which I will state on the website. Using certain weights I can go up to about 68g neutral balanced.

Th pairiing point - I need to sell about 50-75 of these handles before I will be happy. Hopefully many more than that.

For a total custom option ...

Better to add a lot of pics / videos on site.

Hopefully many more than that.

BUT, this is a very clever project.
Not easy to understand.

This handle is the culmination of at least 3-4 months of brainstorming between me and my co-conspiritor. Its not simple - and not meant to be. It is meant ot be right!! hahaha

Maybe, I'm one of a kind. I hope for you.
BUT ME, If I don't understand a tool I don't buy it.
