Shave review of Janus Adjustable razor and Shave Off vs Gillette F4 Toggle

Got it and your on it!

Thank you!

rawfox1 I look forward to hearing how it compares to your WR2, I believe you have said it is your smoothest razor

My WR2 SB 1.25SS and my 1.35Ti are my favorite razors. With the 1.25 smoother and the 1.35 more efficient.

I would love to try it, but I am not a buyer so that would take someone else's spot. Curious to hear multiple people's opinions.

I love the PVD. Beautiful way to finish a razor imo.

In general I don’t even look for polished steel razors anymore because they all pale in comparison to wolfman. I would be curious to see what your contractors are able to pull off though.

I honestly have very little interest in this razor but I hate to see folks that try to enter this market fail so wish you nothing but the best of luck.

Notice:

Gentlemen I have given some thought to this and I think a pass around of the prototype might be a good idea the more I think about it.

Unfortunately, there is a limited time before the prototype razor has to come back to get some of the updates put on it like the new doors & bridges for example. Also the razor is going with me to the Maggard Show which is June 1st so based on time I can send it out and the time it has to be back for the updates it can only go out to the first 8 members who sign up for the pass around.

We can probably do one after the changes so if you’d rather wait for the production model to give the Janus a try that is OK.  I’m not sure if you know the cost I have into this prototype but it’s probably more than you think so the razor has to be shipped first class with the proper amount of insurance on it which is $1,200 and each person can keep the razor for 4 days maximum and then ship it to the next person.  I wish we had more time but we don’t, but I thought since there seems to be an interest in the razor and it’s not inexpensive a few members would like to try it.  The first 8 to sign up will get the prototype to try out and my apologies to those that didn’t get in on this list. Also, the razor can only be shipped CONUS as there is not enough time to ship outside the USA on this pass around.

Dragonsbeard aka Frank has been kind enough and agreed to keep track of the razor and manage the list. So please send him a pm at 1pm or after and he’ll take the names in order and also please send him the tracking # once you ship the razor out to the next person on the list so he can keep track of it’s whereabouts. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks all for your interest in the Janus razor

Kind regards,
Eric

That's a great idea and very generous of you...but how does this alter the Kickstarter campaign? I've read the Janus will see production regardless of Kickstarter results so you may not really care if the KS lapses without funding and you'll bring the product to market at full retail...any chance on extending the Kickstarter date a bit until other member input re: prototype?

Eric...would it be possible to have the polisher provide some photos of their mirror polish? It doesn't have to be a razor, a random part is OK. I get it's hard to show in a photograph. Maybe a brief explanation of the types of industries they produce a mirrored SS finishes for would work too. A definition of what they consider mirrored maybe.

Any kind of verification of the types finishes you are claiming would be appreciated. If the PVD is color only....it's a legitimate question. Thanks in advance.

Sure. That shouldn't be a problem.

Here is a photo I pulled from their website.

Wow Thats Impressive work

The Kickstarter date can't be extended. I revisited my plan for making just a few without Kickstarter. I will need to spend more time on that plan to make sure everything is realistic. I don't have firmed up timelines on that plan to share yet. It is safe to say it won't be immediate though.

I'm gonna log off now. I will check in often to answer any new questions raised. Also, please feel free to email me (eric@janusrazors.com) if that is your preference.

How long do you think it will take before will actually be able to buy the razor or if kick starter fills When do you see us having the razor in our hands
All the best to you
