Essence by Tedalus

Actually It's a shavette.
But I've never seen one like this.
The name is perfect, Essence. I think It's it.
What a modern razor can be: a hybrid, that merges the best of two worlds.
Beautiful and efficient as a straight razor, fast and easy as a shavette.

Yep, been in design phase for awhile but coming out of the shadows

I have to say that as a tester this one impressed me a lot, ordered one

... coming out of the shadows

Maybe a little collage can help.  

... as a tester this one impressed me a lot ...

What are your impressions?

I'm waiting to read the specs.
I love the materials, and the design.
But I feel uncomfortable about two points:
• balance
• blade exposure
From the pics, looks like the handle is very light, especially in comparison to the razor.
And DE blades, is way higher than AC / Mini Hair Shaper.
And not sure can use the full DE blade.

If I want to shave with big bastard, I've this one.

Are you talking about the present or future because I'm still waiting for the kickstarter. I've not received any email.

ischiapp balance is very good, full DE works, had no issues with blade exposure with any of the blades. Waiting for a final production razor and then I'll write a full review.

DarkSpy probably won't be a kickstarter but direct sale in the coming months. Those who asked to be on his mailing list will still get a better price as I understood. Looking forward to this all cnc machined shavette.

This was brought to my attention a few weeks ago, and I just found this thread today.

As a 95% exclusive Shavette shaver, this one has me VERY intrigued.

I look forward to more feedback.

A few more months .... I shaved with pre production models and am very excited

Any idea how much this will cost?

I saw this on a wicked edge reddit post. It was a while ago though, so give or take, I imagine.


"....a. Retail price with stand $299 / Kickstarter price with stand $219

b. Retail Price for razor only $229 / Kickstarter price for Razor $159..."

From what they posted on ig, though, it seems that they're no longer going with the kickstarter option.

Aiming for a May launch date.
