Don't know. It looked like a single person venture. Been totally quiet for several months.

This is a fickle industry, you have to hit while is hot.

That's my biggest worry in buying a hot topic razor with lifetime warranty. It means nothing if they aren't around in 6 months, let alone 5 years when it may develop an issue.

To be fair, I don't know if The Falcon was claiming any warranties, but others do.

I know what you mean. I don't really buy into the lifetime warranties. If it needs to be replaced and t y ey happen to be around, great, otherwiseI should par for the course.

it'd be great if he'd consider trying to make one that uses the GEM SE blade.

I'd scoop that up in a hot minute.

We have plans to design a GEM SE once The General is up and running! It will be a three-piece razor.

well that proved to be wrong. P&G acquired bevel in 2018 and Wilkinson sword released the new weishi-based TTO DE.

You tracked down a three year old post just to be pedantic? Bevel is not Gillette even if they are owned by the same parent company. And you just said yourself that the WS razor is Weishi-based. So not only do I not really care about this topic, but you didn’t even prove me wrong.
