Goodfella Safety Razor?

Doublefelix · Nov 16, 2008

Did anyone ever hear or see this?

It isn't an auction and there is more than one available so I'm assuming I can post the link... Spank me with a paddle strop if I'm wrong

Have not seen now heard of it before. I like the style of it cause it does look cool but I can't say I would pay that kind of coin for it without know more of how it shaves and the quality.

Looks like a Merkur 12c head (or Gillette Old Type if you want to be exact).

Doublefelix · Nov 16, 2008

I think I want one in black!

Robxcarlson · Nov 16, 2008

They have a website: http://www.goodfella.co.nz/

I'm really curious. I like the look of it, but not the price.

cooncatbob · Nov 16, 2008

That site's not up and running yet.
I wonder how that e-bay seller got a hold of 2 of their razors when the company's not operational.
I hope they don't expect to get that kind of money for a 3 piece razor.
I'd like to contact then and see if they'd sell me head to use on my custom handles

I wonder if they are made in New Zealand? It would be fantastic if they were. :thumbup1:

Aevum · Nov 16, 2008

im looking at them, and i suspect parker...
anyways, 75 bucks is still too much, maybe the high price is due to being first series,

Robxcarlson · Nov 16, 2008

There's no way these are Parker... Parker makes nothing that looks like this.
It could legitimately be a new razor company - one that really values their product, apparently.

They also go by http://www.kiwishaver.co.nz/

Wouldn't spend that kind of money, but those are very sharp. I love the simple yet elegant handles.

arcman · Nov 17, 2008

Even if the final price is only half that of the ebay price, that's still awfully expensive for a replica Tech.

rodd · Nov 17, 2008

more of an Old than a tech, but point stands.

Robxcarlson · Nov 17, 2008

I'd be tempted if it were stainless... but as of yet, there's no way to know.

Martin G · Nov 18, 2008

Hi Guys, These are indeed made in New Zealand. The Website's up now. Looks like the razors on Ebay are listed by the company.

Robxcarlson · Nov 18, 2008

Wow, Check out their website - they want $7.95NZ for a 5 pack of Derby blades which comes out to $4.39 USD!! Do Derbys cost anywhere near that in New Zealand?

cooncatbob · Nov 18, 2008

The razor is $120 New Zealand, $66.60 US.
Way too much for a 3 piece.

It's good to see someone having a go at producing a quality d/e,but you are correct,the price is a real issue.

If they were half the price I would buy a couple.

That's twice the price of a Merkur.
I think they're trying to establish themselves as an elite brand.
I just received an answer to my e-mail asking if they'd sell me heads for my custom handles, they said no that they were a new company and it wasn't in their best interest.
Somebody ought to send them an e-mail asking how they can justify their high price compared to their competition.

What I find funny is no one ever heard of them outside this post.

You'd think if they did some legit market research, they would have found the major wet shaving forums - either to announce their product or get feedback on the prototype design.

Strange ...

Robxcarlson · Nov 19, 2008

Somebody, as a representative of B&B, should contact them politely and thank them for bringing the world another new quality DE Razor and then point them to this forum. They should be invited to join and post in the vendor area and perhaps encouraged to send a tester to a senior member for review. They also ought to be told that their prices seem out of line.
