Whatever became of the new Gillette DE that AOS was supposed to release?
Unfortunately, I agree. I think that if it was going to happen, it would have happened when the posters came out showing a Tech. (I suspect the posters were part of a larger marketing push which would have included the razor.) The only other obvious opportunity would have been as part of the Kingsman promotion.I shudder to imagine what Absurdly Overpriced Shaving would charge for a new Gillette razor that won't be any better than any vintage Gillette instrument that can be found for less than $25. In any case, this rumor has been circulating for years with no hard evidence that it will ever appear.
There has been a thread going on about this for a loooooong time. It came out already:
Kingsman Collection Safety Razor | The Art of Shaving
Gillette isn't introducing a "new" DE, they simply put out a new fancy handle that is paired with their regular straight bar DE head that AOS sells. It's not even a Gillette made head nor is the handle labeled as Gillette. It's an AOS exclusive and it is a co-marketing campaign with the sequel to that "Kingsman" movie that came out not too long ago.
Cool handle. Worth almost $100? NOPE.
HaHaHa, +3!!!!Nor can I......
