Title: King of Shaves Razor - Azor
Post by: The Zook on July 21, 2008, 01:43:24 PM
All I can say is... I want one!

If nothing more than a different design, this thing is cool... if only it were available to the US.

It's a new razor design  O:O

Keep in mind, I'm the type who scoured the internet looking for a 'classic' metal Atra handle lol. I find stuff like this cool, I guess.

Looks like a modified Shick Extreme 3. Nice design though. O0

Yeah, I thought they were kinda cool... I'll either have to talk with a buddy of mine in the UK or wait patiently.

By no means do I need another razor, I just want it. :)

hmm.. looks interesting.

The shaving advantages of it are not really clear, are there any? Or is it just a cool design?

From what I read the ergonomics are good but the blade is supposed to be phenomenal.

I quite fancy trying one out.  I'll see if I can get one locally as my Xtreme 3 disposables are nearly all gone.
Shame there isn't a road show locally or at a convenient time as it would be nice to grab some freebies.
I'll keep you updated.

I might see you there i am only 30 mins from there, either that or Meadowhell!!  I heard an interview on 5 live about this last night when i was getting ready for bed, i wonder if it is really as good as the guy said it was going to be?  The other interesting thing is that the blades are going to be cheaper than the gillette equivalent.  Is it available in supermarkets yet?

They have them in Boots (my local branch anyway) and I now have one in my hand.
4 flexible blades, flexible head and a totally different head angle from any other razor I've used.
I feel the need to shave now but it will have to wait until I get home this evening!

Hi Lucky,

I am happy to sort you out with this.  Not sure of the best way to charge you though as I dont have an active paypal account!  If that is the best way then i am happy to set one up.  Couple of questions though:

1)  How will you get blades on an ongoing basis, i can pick you up a decent supply but beyond that?
2)  Has anyone else offered already, if so i will stand down lol

If you want to pm me with your thoughts and address i will try and sort it out for you ASAP.  I think with the £-$ they work out at about $400 each  :D ;D

Got one ready to ship - just need an address.
Why didn't I factor in rounding for currency conversion like Argyle? :-[

Cool Stumpy, let us know how it is

Address sent, thank you very much! I better head to PayPal and see if I'll need to take out a second mortgage on the house to pay for this thing...
