I saw a post today on FB today and thought it was interesting. Is there anyone here that either has one or has ordered one? I found it at The Superior Shave. It uses one side of a DE blade thats snapped in half. Its $58 shipped or $79 w/ the stand.
A true Italian engineering marvel, the Focus Dynamic SE Razor is an entirely unique entry in the safety razor world. This razor's made of anodized aluminum and takes one half of a conventional double-edge safety razor blade, thus providing the ubiquity of the DE blade to fuel it the mechanical advantages of the SE razor systems; there's no expensive proprietary marriage to some fancy blade here, buy whatever you like wherever you please! The Focus Dynamic has a spring-mounted head which keeps the blade's angle of incidence to skin at a precise 25° as you move it about your face; the stretching bar is far ahead and rather high, but because of the spring you will get a shave that is both close and mild all at once, which is the true pinnacle of achievement that all safety razors should aspire. It is not stroke-for-stroke efficient such as the remarkable Mühle "R41" with its 'tooth comb' (to name but one startlingly-powerful-by-the-stroke entry in the elite of DE shaving options), but if given time to move across each area of the skin in a few different angles this razor can achieve irritation-free closeness like few others. It will behoove you to experiment with many different brands of double edge blades, and if you have a favorite blade that is perhaps a bit too harsh with some of your razors you've tried that blade will perform quite differently here. To wit, the author here has bore down with inadvisable pressure using Russian-manufactured blades which are always bitingly sharp, and not once received the proper penalty for those foolhardy ways.
Available with or without its dedicated stand (108g, 60x40x20mm, 100% aluminum) - which itself aids in your loading/exchange of blades due to the way it holds the head put.
A strange drawback from the author's view; as with the aforementioned Mühle I have found reduced lifespan of the maximum efficiency of my blades in the Focus Dynamic, but as you're also only using one half of one double-edge blade with the other side remaining completely free of water interaction until you make the exchange, in the net this razor is really not burning through blades as some really cool stuff on the market nowadays is wont to do.
