It's All About Complementing Metals
That's right people, we decided to just mix it all up and get it out! Brass, Copper & Stainless dance in harmony and deliver one hell of a smooth shave!
The Quantum Mixed Metal Proto Safety Razor?
So as you might imagine, we test out our razor designs over and over in all sorts of metals and ultimately decide which we like the best. And with all this testing, we have to do a few small runs. Lordy I wish we could just order one at a time! That said, this is where you, our loyal and faithful Shave Cadet benefit! Meaning, after such a long wait for our next run Fran and I have decided to build some "Franken-Quantums"! The geometry for all of them is the same so fear not, but each component is one of a kind! A complete Quantum Proto is made up of a Brass Flare Tip, Two Copper Plate Options (both included) and a super grippy, stainless handle!
But What Is It?
Still one of our most EPIC homages to date, a tribute to The Vintage Eclipse Red Ring! Collectors will immediately know what I am referring to. This original design was created by James Neil & Co of Composite Steel Works of Sheffield, England or "Steel City"! Released in the mid 30's it had a good 20 year run before disappearing into obscurity, as all epic razor are wont to do.
An Open Comb Straight Bar?
Kinda. It certainly is a unique, art deco design bringing with it a lot of innovations, which included a magnet on the handle to pick up blades with. Yep, they did it first folks, it's not a new idea!
Note: We did not add the magnet to ours. Instead, we combined it with our ever popular Flare Tip! Another homage in its own right, to the handle of the Gillette "Red Tip". It really just seemed like it was meant to be; The Red Ring meets The Red Tip! What can I say, I blend things for a living.
NOTE: Keep in mind these are prototypes, so there may be tiny, VERY tiny, cosmetic imperfections but they are hardly noticeable to the untrained eye or a fella without twitching OCD. Again, these are a piece of Phoenix history embrace them!
Which Base Plate Will You Gravitate Towards? The Alpha or the Beta?
Looking for something less aggressive? Maybe you are not so in need of a shave today but can't resist? Reach for the Omega, the mildest of the two.
When you want to turn up the aggression, go for the Alpha!
Add A Little Zing to that Red Ring!
Meaning, add one of our colored Flare Tips to the handle! Choose your favorite color or colors from the drop down menu!
