I think you may just resign to the fact that it's not for you at this point then.
Me, I'm really intrigued and like the look of it quite a bit.
Different horse and courses and all that good stuff.
I'm not worried about the snapping in half - it's all the faffing about with the half blade in the razor - lining it up, breaking bits of the edge and then using finger nail to extract it...I don't really worry too much about snapping the DE blade in half. Anyone who has done it a couple of times knows it an extremely simple thing to do. I actually snap it with the paper still on.
Also, it IS a $25 dollar razor...

Yeah, @ckeskin if possible - can you talk a bit about the blade loading in detail?
How difficult is it to load, unload, does the blade stay in safely during the shave, any issues at all, etc?

I agree, it's a very original concept. We should wait to hear or see it in action.

I doubt you can cut a curved slot in a solid piece of steel.

I've looked at the photo and the video, and it certainly *looks* curved. I've had confirmation of my pre-order, so I hope it won't be too long before I have it in front of me to see.

I'm sure there was mention of a threaded pin/shaft that would suggest that tightening would be done by the handle?
How long did it take to get your pre order notification through? I'm still waiting....

If the slot is push in only, I wonder then of the tolerances between blades. A slightly thicker blade would therefore sit further out. I'm also intrigued how they have created a curved slot. It suggests a water-jet, as I've certainly not used anything that can create such a fine cut, never mind with a curve.

Dont think you get an email, just a confirmation on the pre order screen.

Water jet - a $25 a pop? Mind, the whole thing at $25 a pop sounds impossible.

Schick Type A Repeater..
The Rocnel SE looks to me as if its got a similar design to this Schick Type A Repeater..The blade just slips in the same way by the looks of it..There is no blade stops & the blade seats against the back of the head..The Schick just has a slot that the blade fits into..It doesn't need to be that tight to hold it in place as it cant Go anywhere..Its a very simple design & it works very well..The Rocnel has the added bonus of that curve as well..The design is very similar in principle at least & works very well..Just not what most folks are used to is All..
