Before you buy that Pearl Flexi...

Keen to see what they come up with but until then I'd be happy trying the Flexi as its affordable and from the Reviews shaves smoothly with decent efficiency that suits my needs.

Please do share. Or we awaiting a reveal here?

They are releasing an adjustable razor.

They are releasing an adjustable razor.

Bet you won't be able to pick that for $100 in a group buy.
Should be a very interesting player in the adjustable market though.

 

[bernie01]

Apparently it's only US$389...

 

[Razor Burn]

You'd hope it shaves half decent for that price tag! Kudos to them trying something different but there's no way I could justify paying that much for an adjustable razor.
Interested to see how it comes to their other offerings...?

 

[Errol]

I can tell you that the first release was sold out six hours after the launch. Could not have been many in that first release. My name is down for the next release.

Could get a fair amount of vintage kit for that price ...

I see the early remarks on some overseas forums saying it might be on the mild side as only 2 of the 5 setting have positive blade exposure with max blade gap of 0.9 and max blade exposure of 0.17 which puts it slightly higher than the Nodachi at 0.13???

Nearly $510 AUD + GST + Shipping (maybe free)

Your looking around $560 / $570 AUD roughly to have it in your hands.

I guess the Pearl group buy is dead with this great deal?

Are you nuts? You’ve got plenty of Wolfman in your den.

I hope not as the Flexi is a more realistic price I'm willing to pay for an adjustable.

I will give them credit as they've thought outside the box but the starting price is almost Janus Toggle level once you add a stand. I'd rather spend the coin on a Wolfman but from what I've read the pre-orders have sold out quickly.

Interesting how the sliding base plate system works.
The dial has automatic watch look to it which I like.
This looks like very refined razor.

Looking forward to Errols review on this one.

Watch the Chinese copy this. Patent or no patent.

You and me both as they've managed to design something truly unique but keeping the sleek Tatara styling.

That's a very slick looking razor, and a clever design (though I'm not going to be tempted back to DE razors). I have to say, though, that maintaining the same blade gap while altering the exposure seems highly likely to have its drawbacks. Unless you ride the cap (which I never do, since it negates the whole point of a safety razor design) the implication is that you would have to tailor your shaving angle to every setting if you don't want to risk flaying yourself. I'll be curious to see what @Errol makes of it.

Sarcasm anyone?
