I finished up a couple of cartridge razors today and have just listed them on my site. They are available with either a Fusion or a Mach 3 head assembly.
Copper Laced Onyx
Copper Laced Onyx is a member of the chalcedony family which also includes carnelian, agate, bloodstone, etc. Occurring naturally in a variety of colors, black onyx is polished to enhance appearance, a member of the quartz family. The name comes from the Greek word onyx which means nail of a finger or claw. Legend says that one day while Venus was sleeping Eros/Cupid cut her fingernails and left the clippings scattered on the ground. Because no part of a heavenly body can die, the gods turned them into stone which later became known as Onyx.
Casein
Casein is a most unusual material made from the protein by-product of milk. Casein has been used as glue since antiquity, but the first patents for the modern materials are from 1885 and 1886 in Germany. Some of the earliest plastics were based on casein. In particular, Galalith was well known for use in buttons. The earliest objects made of Casein imitated traditional items made of horn or ivory. Casein was widely used through the 1950's for small, hard items such as buttons, beads, poker chips, fountain pens, umbrella and bag handles, as well as knitting needles and various adhesives.
As always, thanks for looking.
