Third prototype test. Richard makes his film debut, our cartridge annoys us, and our blade is REALLY REALLY SHARP. bladeresearch.com/thirdtest

More work on the cartridge! Think it looks pretty cool in its raw state.

Added coating to the handle to make it less slippery. I think we're close to Halloween colors now!

@mantic59 do you know anyone who might be able to consult on our cartridge design? Looking for something a little more aggressive.

@iamwilliamking Also, just realized your Twitter handle could be read as "I am Will, I am King." Intentional?

New cartridge! I think the red is quite dashing. New plastic should be as tough as our blade. 😀 What do you think of the color?

Second prototype working! Shaving closer and more smoothly, thanks to the anti-friction coating we've added. bladeresearch.com/movingforward

@iamwilliamking Had the same experience with FB randomly deactivating for no obvious reason. Very frustrating!

@tapromen Trying to not seem stalkerish, but we noticed you were a backer of @ZafirroShave's sapphire shaving razor and thought you might want to take a gander at our version. :)

@NeatWolf Hope we don't seem too stalkerish, but noticed you were a @ZafirroShave backer and thought you might want to take a look at our version of the sapphire razor.

@iamwilliamking Check it out. More improvements to come, but we're getting closer to a soft launch.

@ZafirroShave Check it out.

First working prototype! Pretty excited. Many improvements to come, but definitely a strong start! Sapphire works! Full video: bladeresearch.com/sapphireworks

Fresh sapphire! This is a blank that we're using to make sure the fit in our cartridges is right. #Sapphire #shaving

@iamwilliamking @ZafirroShave Mind emailing (team@bladeresearch.com) or DMing us? Would be helpful to learn more about some of these obstacles and what the shave experience was like.

@iamwilliamking As a denizen of the UK, thought you might appreciate this tale: How Wilkinson Sword (accidentally) took over the UK shave market. bladeresearch.com/davidandgillet…

@WSMenUK Glad you enjoyed!

@BladeResearch Great article - thanks for sharing!

@WSMenUK Thought you might like this article. It's the story of how you took down Gillette and introduced the world to the stainless steel razor. bladeresearch.com/davidandgillet…

@mantic59 We can't help but be impressed with the raw engineering that goes into the flagship razors from companies like @Gillette . But from a blade POV, we never thought that the part of the razor that was actually cutting was too special.
