i didn't think so. If you reach the ridge, you've gone too far.
Thanks! But could you please elaborate on why did you write this?

My lack of love for the ridged top cap is it aesthetic only. It didn't affect the shave negatively in any way, I just think it makes the razor look odd. As far as its use, as one angles the razor against the shaving plane, the ridge is that upper limit. It prevents one from using too shallow an angle with the razor. It's like having training wheels on a bicycle. I hope that helps.Thanks! But could you please elaborate on why did you write this?
Made a short detour from Artist Club August just to test-run this set. It's going to be a gift, but first I needed to know if it's any good. So the head+RR Halo handle+Treet Platinum is a combo that shall go into a gift box. The bits of software are my "usual suspects" for testing new gear.
I went with the "windowed" baseplate as more appealing. Unfortunately, only ridged caps were available. But it proved to be a non-issue.

Bottom line: it is a very good razor. And I'm happy that it will be a good present.
Very smooth albeit effective shaver. BBS in two passes. But do not relax: I was a little distracted and got two tiny dots.
The blade is almost not felt on the skin. It goes against the growth confidently, without unnecessary vibrations and stumbles. The range of working angles is quite broad.
The quality of manufacture is acceptable. Geometrically everything is precise, the blade is installed in place without any problems and is firmly fixed.
The coating is a weird "semi-matte", giving the impression of an unfinished (pun intended) job. The bottom of the plate would benefit from a recession to accommodate the handle (similar to Mühle). However, a plastic washer solves this problem.
Price-wise it is currently the best offer for a SS head on the market.
I noticed that as well. Any word on when they will have these in stock again?
I have sent them two emails asking them when they expected a to have these in stock again, perhaps three weeks ago, and never received a reply.

I never got emails back from them but if you go on their site during their operating hours there is a live chat. That’s the best way to communicate with them.Well I ordered the cap and baseplate on 8/6/20 and got an email thanking me for the order. Since then nothing. I emailed them yesterday morning requesting an update but no response yet.
Thanks for the info. I'll definiteley try that.I never got emails back from them but if you go on their site during their operating hours there is a live chat. That’s the best way to communicate with them.
