I've been asked to create a reference thread for The Kraken 248 razor, since there are 1 or 2 others interested in it and others who have already ordered and are awaiting its arrival.
I am in no way affiliated or associated with either Shapeways or the designer of this razor...
The Kraken is a 3D printed slant razor and is available here http://shpws.me/LBmU and only here.
And this is what mine looks like.
The cost was approx £20, including delivery from Holland, once converted back into Sterling from Euros. I used the standard production waiting time. You have an option to pay a few £ more for a quicker production and an option to pay a few £ less to wait a bit longer than the standard waiting time. It took 7 days from ordering to receiving at my door using the standard wait.
There is also a grey version which costs a bit more.
In addition to the 3 pieces in the (massively oversized) box you'll need an M5 countersunk screw (around 15mm long thread so around 20mm total length. Check with seller for exact dimensions), an M5 nut and a 5mm washer. These can be bought here (thanks to Uncle Bertie for finding) https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/261709653855 Again I am not affiliated it associated with the seller.
The razor itself weighs just 13g fully assembled.
It might not be for everyone and it's definitely a bit fun, but not a novelty razor. I love mine!
The only doubt it the durability and strength of this 3D printed stuff...
