Got a message that John from Option.Five is about to join us here so I thought I'd summarize some of the questions for him (but please add your own as well);
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
John (for when you sign up), here are some high-level questions for you;
1) What's your wetshaving/design background (as much as you feel comfortable disclosing),
2) Why did you go with the nickel alloy as material,
3) What are the dimensions (length and width) of the razor,
4) Can you explain the England-China-Switzerland connection 
,
5) Would you say this is a mild or aggressive razor,
6) Why the name Option.Five,
7) Is this a metal version of the Kickstarter Inscape razor from two years ago - and if so what are the changes between that model and this?
John provided his answers to the 7 questions above on TSR last night, still need to convince him to sign up on one more site - ATG
Anywho, here are his unedited answers:
1) See n° 7
2) Why did you go with the nickel alloy as material,
Nickel alloy appeard to be the best compromise to have the final render we expected with a rustfree material. This nickel alloy also enabled us to meet the price range we settelled for the product. Btw we are really glad to see that you guys think that the price range we are adopting is sensible. Don’t forget the promo code is still available fore a couple of weeks !
3) What are the dimensions (length and width) of the razor,
The razor is 11.5 cm (4.5 inch) long and 4.7 cm (1.6 inch) wide.
4) Can you explain the England-China-Switzerland connection
,
The England China Switzerland collaboration is part of the myth, which is why it will remain a secret for the rest of time.
5) Would you say this is a mild or aggressive razor,
The product is built to give costumers the best shaving experience as possible. In fact, the product we are selling is aiming to accompany you during the first minutes/hours of your day.
Don’t you think that every day should begin in a smooth way ? That’s what our razor is all about
The Option Five razor will provide you with a mild smooth shaving experience
6) Why the name Option.Five,
Option five because the shaving process can be decomposed in five steps you guys will have to figure out
7) Is this a metal version of the Kickstarter Inscape razor from two years ago - and if so what are the changes between that model and this?
The option five razor is base on the Inscape razor frame. However we decided to change the dimension of the product (smaller then original) to optimize the shaving expercience. The Inscape Razor creators abandonned the Idea of a plastic product which is why we are developping a product made of nickel.
8) For those who order some razor we are going to ship them in a few hours.
Thanks for you interest, take care of your beard and down for the lady's!
Cheers
