More upcoming excitment

The Darwin is/was one of the more distinct safety razors out there, with a hexagonal handle and a top cap with a unique shape:

Getting one these days are hard, but when there is an openign in the marked someone might step up to fill it – in this case it’s Phil over at BullGoose shaving who have announced the “Evolution”, a stainless steel re-imagining of the Darwin.

Given the positive reception and reviews of Phil’s Asylum Rx Single Edge razor, I think it’s fair to say that the Evolution will be of high quality and give great shaves.

Tiny safety razor

Need a razor pouch for travel?

Why not try this one? Hand made by one of the members of my faovurite shave forum, the feedback on the prototypes were very good.

Made from the 1940’s up into the 1970’s. The vibration was supposed to minimize snagging and give a smoother shave, but it would scare the willies out of me.

An art deco frog – they made some pretty stunning things back in the day that was also eminently usable.

Neat folding razor

Found this when I was roaming online:

From where I found it, it’s marked with:

PATENT
O.K. Safety Razor with Comb

…and that is pretty much all I know. It’s neat and I would love to own one.

Perhaps a little overkill, but I like the idea and the execution of this picture I found online.
