Thread: Possible new stainless steel toggle in the works

Neat design, looks like it will be heavy and my guess it will be machined out of materials only found in the Aerospace industry. Probably will be marketed to the same folks that collect fine mechanical Swiss time pieces, not that there is anything wrong with that. Right now its a computer drawing.
Oh and I dig the fact that the head of the company is cleanly shaven both head and face, adds to the credibility. I was expecting the usual hipster bearded guy hawking some Eco friendly artisan product.

No matter it's asking price I'm sure it will be a bargain compared to the Wolfman lineup.

Its kinda cool looking.

Pretty exciting .. there have been a ton of fixed blade SS DE's introduced the last few years at premium plus prices, and I'll fallen briefly for many of them. The Gillette Adjustables, Toggle or Fatboy, are with limited exception still the best shavers I have experienced. I actually prefer the Fatboy to my Toggle, though.

I'm sure that a well executed SS version will cost dearly - the only modern knock off of a truly adjustable (not multiplated) DE the Rex Adjustable runs $250 and it has an apparently simpler design ..

Very nice. I didn't even know about toggles before this thread, but now I am interested. I'm sure this will be more than I want to invest in a DE at the moment, but it looks like a great project.
I can only imagine how many prototypes he has made trying to get it right.

Cool razor, any word on price yet?. I must say that i am rather disappointed in the look of the handle,doesn't look quite finished to me. doesn't matter though, i'm sure it's out of my price range.

Typically with projects like this the further along you go the more issues you discover and then you have to go back and redo and redo and redo.

Just look at the Rockwell Model T. They have experience at this and the T was supposed to have been completed last summer and they are revising it to June or so.

So, I imagine there will be many changes in the handle before completion.

The March issue seems to have disappeared, but here it is...again:
