Kickstarter: Inscape Razor

[filobiblic]

Another day, another Kickstarter project for wet shaving...

This is a polypropylene razor that's a fusion between a cartridge (plastic, easy loading) and a safety razor (using DE blades).

US$15 for a razor. They sell a normal version with a push button top cap release.
But get this - they also sell a Pro version that they sell you a DE blade attached to the plastic top cap!!! So instead of you buying your own blades, they buy them and sell them to you for mark up. Nice deal they have going for themselves... It's certainly the cartridge model being applied to the classic DE safety razor.

Pass... It looks like it weighs next to nothing so you do the work not the weight of the razor which is probably good for converting cart shavers who are used to pushing hard but for experienced DE shavers it would be a toy. It's hard to tell exactly but the blade gap looks super mild, wouldn't shave the fuzz of a peach.

Oh I'm not trying to sell it to you at all. I'm just showing how the wet shaving market is trying to entice cartridge users or inventing new ways to capture the market. It all erodes the cartridge market share...
