if it's the blade maybe i'll look into modding a bic metal
Since I probably will not live long enough to actualize my dream, here is an idea that has been kicking around in my head for a couple years. Maybe someone will run with it so I can buy one.
Leverage the design of PILS and iKon razors, which have a head plate machined from a solid block of stainless steel. For both of these razors the head plate has tiny "nibs" remaining that precisely match the cutouts of a DE blade. (See photos here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/101993-Pils-DE-Razor?p=1893228#post1893228) Apply the same logic to create a wider head that, instead, has the cutouts of the Feather and KAI blades. (See photos here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...admit-they-burned-125-)?p=2033420#post2033420) I am convinced you could make a razor that might look like a DE or SE razor, but would hold a Feather or KAI blade. I recognize the Artist Club blades have differing widths (i.e., Professional, Super, Pro-guard), but I still think it could be done with some thought. Any engineers out there?
