Seems there is a new startup launching a toggle

https://www.janusrazors.com/

Paging @RustyBlade ..Im guessing this will see a $250 - $350 USD price-point which is right in my preferred range...

*EDIT: Signup for info on launch here

Wow... impressive. There was a reason Gillette moved away from the Toggle design though. But looks very cool.(y)

To scared of the beautiful design
 
Well @borked might be interested too.

Interesting concept and will be fascinating to see how it develops.

I think I would prefer a stainless Fatboy or Slim - but I wait in vain it seems ...
 
Sorry personal opinion that is a crime in so many aspects and looks.

LOL - you becoming a grumpy old bugger

Part of me agrees

Part of me is interested in how this will be resurrected

Part of me is fascinated

Part of me is just curious

Part of me is skeptical that they can pull it off

Will be watching closely

You read my mind, second this (y)

@SpeedyPC it ain't zinc mate which means it can handle a few hits.
Though agree with you.
 
They asked for and I supplied suggestions.

Kirby Razor's distinguishing feature, was a scalloped head.
It arguably eenhanced lubrication, thus less irritation.
Thus worthy of consideration.

The height of the head is too high from dimensional appearances, it will restrict the ability to shave against the grain under the nose (which also is why some razors left the blade tabs exposed btw).

Handle, lets try thicker and longer, so it is easier to hold, has more heft to it and allows for more variation for users preferred balance.
The grip will be diminished with the current design, perhaps it could be engineered to incorporate an interchangeable sleeve for preferred handle grip design.
The numbers upon the dial also are not visible enough in the current design, a contrasting design may be the best option.

Materials, offer them in a range of base metals, such as brass, bronze, copper, titanium, aluminium and rhodium for those that are willing to pay the required premium, or seek a cheaper option.
Whatever you do, please do not utilize zalmak as is the case for Merkur.
The metal alloy is prone to corrosion, thus substantially weakening the metal to the point that the razor snaps.

Be interesting to see what, if anything comes from it :)

Grumpy old bugger I am :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

But we love you, particularly when sharing your trade secrets with us ;)
 
Just confirm they are not the old stock at that price, there were a number of teething issues!
The response I received from Beard and Blade.
"Thanks for your order! The batch we have are late M4, but there should be no issues with it as they've only just opened up third party sellers with the "fixed" batches
They wanted to get quality nailed before on-selling to people like ourselves"
