I remember originally toying around with the idea back in 2014! Aside from doing the initial footwork in seeking out the right manufacturer, I also developed a few package designs. Exciting times for sure, but alas, it just wasn't feasible at that time. (And honestly, nor were we as knowledgeable to really offer anything so different). \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast forward to February 2020 and we found ourselves back at it once more! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBy this time we had grown in size and output, so much so that we were finally realizing goals we set back in 2012 for ourselves, the fruit of almost 10 years of nonstop hard work.

By this I mean, we actually had some input on what type of steel and feel we wanted. That said, I recruited a few of my favorite testers to give their much needed feedback along the way, from industry known influencers to relatively newbie shavers. This was done much in the same way we tested our first shave soap so many years back. We had to get the thumbs up from everyone before we put in the order. \u003ci\u003eAnd that's just what we did!\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Japanese, Russian and Swede Walk into a bar\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBeing that shaving is a truly a subjective task and everyone's preferences are all over the place, I can only really describe my end of the testing phase and my personal aim\/goal. Many of you know by now I am a huge Feather and Voskhod fan. Both are wildly different in feel and performance, but for some reason or another, work rather well for me...\u003cem\u003eif only I could get the two to make a baby together\u003c\/em\u003e, but they didn't even share a common language (Japanese \u0026amp; Russian).

Truly an arduous and time consuming process, but heck, we already waited this long.  As much as Covid sucks, I feel like this downtime actually had quite a hand in the maker being so open to work with us and humor me with tweaks and suggestions often bordering more on the mystical than mechanical. I mean, is it that odd to suggest they wait till a full moon to begin the process? So, there is a silver...\u003cem\u003eor maybe platinum (?)\u003c\/em\u003e lining in the current plague after all.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAfter much pushing and pulling we ended up with a high quality razor blade that is both sharp, smooth and double coated with Platinum \u0026amp; PTFE.
