Oliworks is re-opened for business with their new 3 Piece adjustable razor (3 plate choices). The price looks very reasonable and they will start shipping 10/21. However, I didn't see their regular adjustable for sale.

M3TEORITE? Clever name.
The head design looks a lot like the head on the OliBlade adjustable. That’s very promising because the Oliblade head was configured beautifully and was remarkably smooth to shave with for its efficiency. I have only used the cerakoted Oliblade, so I can’t compare with the bare steel, but my impression was that the coating makes the razor glide very softly.
Anyway, I pre-ordered the M3TEORITE right away. Dark cherry colour this time. For the price, and the way it appears, I didn’t have to think very hard about it.

I just got the email as well. Looks interesting but not sure if I’m going to get one as I already have their adjustable. If I do it would most likely be the stainless finish with medium plate.
Glad to see them back in action.

Emailed Jorge. He says the medium plate represents 3.5 on the adjustable razor and the aggressive plate is close to 5. I didn’t ask about the mild plate but would imagine it would be 2 or below.
Thought this might be helpful for those curious about the plates and how they compare to the adjustable. He’s planning to put this detail on the website soon.

Like the looks of the knurling!
I think medium 3.5 will do for everyday
Guess they loss the lawsuit huh
I received my email notification yesterday and jumped on buying this in all three plates. Based on how satisfied I am with the adjustable Oliblade, I'm in on this razor as well. The head and handle design is EXACTLY what I want on a 3 piece razor. The knurling looks amazing, just like the adjustable. I love the head design on my adjustable and this looks the same. I am really looking forward to this one. They really hit it out of the park with their adjustable, so I am sure they have with this as well.
Also, he is offering people that are preordering a huge discount on buying the two other plates. So 135$ for a SS razor with three plates! Not a bad deal for a U.S. made SS razor.
The discount code for the preorder is threepiece
Enjoy!

Picked up the dark cherry with all three plates. US$154 with the discount code including shipping (CONUS).
The Cherry Red 3 piece was too hard to resist especially for the price!
I was out last night, saw the announcement. Glade OliWorks is back in the game of building, and selling Razors. Wait for the return of the Original OliAdjustable.
Hope they return like Jorge projected end of 2024.

I've heard a lot of praising coming from the owners of their adjustable razor, which looks really nice. However, I never really liked heavy and bulky razors like most modern adjustables and even if they are good shavers, I will always prefer a three piece razor. Their new three piece razor might be what I'm looking for. I think I will take the risk and go straight with the aggressive plate and see how it goes. The handle pattern also looks very interesting.
Is it just me or do the heads look similar to the Envoy?
I really like the middle part. The ends could be a little better. They should have kept the same knurling, the twist and cuts, on the ends, like a 1920s Bulldog.

Fumbling about.
I've ordered the new three piece with all three baseplates and the stand.
Mostly, I want to see how it compares to my most excellent OliBlade adjustable. I suspect the OliBlade will be very hard to beat as it is, well, adjustable, and I like to use settings #4 and #2 in each shave.
We'll see.
It looks great in the photos.
Happy shaves,
Jim

Have question what is this close up photo of? Who’s Handle?
Ask because it don’t look like OliWorks anything.

Fumbling about.
He's showing the handle he wishes they'd copied, the 1920s Bulldog. His point was the ends of the new Oliworks razor have a middle part different from the two ends whereas the Bulldog middle was the same as both of its ends.
Happy shaves,
Jim
It does look great!
I hear what @helicopter is saying about the end knurling patterns, but somehow my eye thinks the two styles balance each other well on that handle.
This is the first time I've been really tempted to break my year-long shaving purchase fast! Sounds like a lot of razor for the price.
Great news, the adjustable razor is superb
For those who want a kind of "Envoy" but with the possibility of additional dishes, it is worth taking
