I think Hone 15 Ti is the more likely name.I predict that Andrew will stick with the number being the year of the design. Hone 15t.
And I don't care if I'm wrong.

Other way round, brass is heavier than stainless.
I think you can guarantee its going to be well in excess of £200 for a full Ti 15.
It's Hone 15a, not Hone 15 Al. - just saying.I think Hone 15 Ti is the more likely name.

Still waiting for the Hone 15b (Bakelite), Hone 15d (Disposable ) Hone 15c (Carbon fibre). Andrew did say he didn't know where to start with carbon fibre, so after talking to a material science guy I see the future in the Hone 15c (Concrete. Yes - concrete. Modern concrete is the coolest material around. You heard it here first.)
Don't dare patenting the concrete razor idea. This post is prior art.
There is a massive clue, 22 on the periodic table is Titanium ( Ti )
Oh I do hope so......
Of course, for those whose wallets haven't been emptied by the titanium and other versions, there could be Limited Editions of the 15g(old) and 15s(terling silver). I like the idea of concrete. I've seen small objects made of it which have been polished up so they look like soapstone or similar, and I think they now make kitchen tops out of it.It's Hone 15a, not Hone 15 Al. - just saying.

It would be much lighter than a stainless steel razor. When we think of concrete, we think of huge, massive, heavy blocks of the stuff. Turns out, the density of concrete varies vastly, but is more akin to aluminium than to steel. Consider aerated concrete.. it's much lighter per volume than even Bakelite (but unsuitable, as it is quite soft). Even dense concrete is slightly lighter than aluminium. Your sink should be just fine and so should the razor (according to my 'concrete expert').I like the sound of a concrete razor, but don't think I'd like dropping it in the ceramic sink. Not sure which would win, but the results wouldn't be good!!! ;-)

Let me look up my 2015 calculations for those materials...Of course, for those whose wallets haven't been emptied by the titanium and other versions, there could be Limited Editions of the 15g(old) and 15s(terling silver).
They'd be the Mighty Mother and Father of All Razors; relegating the Pils Hammer of Thor to a mere Pipsqueak.Let me look up my 2015 calculations for those materials...
Hone 15 in solid silver: 201 grams
Hone 15 in solid gold: 370 grams
It's on there now, it's a diagram with 22 in the middle and when you scroll up it says comming soon.It is funny as this morning there was no new on the hone website it must have just updated the webpage. Very interedting to see what comes out.
Can't wait to see what Andrew comes up with. Looks interesting.It's on there now, it's a diagram with 22 in the middle and when you scroll up it says comming soon.
