Thread: Discommon

The spine would have been an easy fix with a nylon spacer. Just needs to clip on the blade round the toe and space out to the lower grind.

That lower grind is odd. Not because of how it looks but because of it's closeness to the edge. If the spine isn't corrected width wise to account for that then the edge angle is going to be insane. If it falls out of the edge angle rules then it really is an RSO. He could have corrected it on the belts by flattening the thicker spine part or stepping it.

I have to agree it looks like a knife-maker thinking razors are easy and don't have rules to follow.

Also did anyone else notice the toe spacer and where it sits in relation to the edge..... Looks like the edge is actually stopped by the spacer, on the cutting edge.... LOL.

well....they spent 200 hours on just the handle....of course they were worried about someone getting cut. Duh! LMFAO

I thought that the compound grinds were reserved for knives?
Why does one need that to cut beard?

It's very simple. These guys consider themselves to have an eye for creating unique designs. Function clearly did not come into consideration. Sadly, some poor saps probably have fallen for their BS.

Someone is buying them apparently, the black "handled" one is sold out... Those poor souls...

What a terrible concept.

200 hrs is a considerable time wasted to develop scales...especially ugly ones.
Razor concept should stay the way it is, no need for such changes.
For example, kamisori is just perfect even it has no scales

I have to agree with all of the above, ugly, lacking in functionality, impossible to hone properly yourself, and ugly... the perfect example of people with ego's big enough that they figure they don't need to do any research. They may have put 200 hrs into the "handle" design, but they clearly just decided to adapt their knife blade design, because its their "signature" look, without any thought put into the differences between a razor and a knife. "they both have blades, I don't see an issue..."

When another of their offerings is a $230 beer bottle opener they are not marketing to me or many of us here.
