So I did have this razor on loan for a couple of weeks.
It’s a really good razor, reminds me of the RS-10.
Efficient and smooth with possibly a little more feedback than the aforementioned and also to something like a Charcoal Lvl 2.
I also enjoyed it far more than a BBS-1 I was lucky enough to lend once and a better razor IMHO.
Build quality is excellent and it definitely exudes a high quality feel.
The elephant in the room is obviously the price.
Let’s face it, this razor is pitched at those that want the best and can afford it and I don’t think they would be disappointed.

May I ask which baseplate of the RS-10 you are comparing to? Thanks

I was also someone who had to smile slightly or looked at it with incomprehension when the razor was announced. It wasn't the design, geometry or finish. It was of course the price. A price that a manufacturer has to dare to charge. A price that makes you think - what's the point or rather - why?
A razor designed and completely manufactured in Switzerland.
The design is a dream, as is the finish in the pictures.
Nevertheless, I asked myself why I should spend so much money on a razor - for a brand that actually has little to do with Safety razors. Blindly spending €800 on stainless steel in times when titanium is the order of the day? Then why not go for a Wolfman, Rocnel Sailor, Carbon Damaskus or 2 Haircut&Shaves razors? Or just something else in titanium that I know is good.
I was also "put off" by the neutral exposure.

The first reports came in which were promising and I started to reconsider.
Tedalus also offers a satisfaction guarantee - this means that you can return the razor within a certain period of time if you don't like it.
I think that's great and someone definitely stands behind their product.
I got in touch with Manuel who was really nice and helpful with my questions.

After I told him which serial number I would like, it went quickly and within 24 hours the razor was with me.
Unpacked and I was blown away. Take a look at the pictures and enjoy.
The finish is mirror polished and brushed in an elegant mix. The handle is hollow and sits well in the hand. Despite its 112g, it feels very light and fantastically balanced.
The design is definitely unique and I can hardly take my eyes off it. The curves, the lather channel, the topcap- it's all so sexy.
The polish is really first class, the brushed finish looks very high quality, tolerances are at the highest level.
In the box was a polishing cloth, a lifetime warranty card, 10 Feather blades, a passport for the razor in different languages which I think is a super ingenious idea and the logo seal which is reminiscent of Rolex.
Is it worth it?

First impressions....
Nice but not on another level.

It has a quality feel about, very easy to use and nice post shave feel.

But for me, it's on the same level as a Wolfman (once you've found the right one) or an all stainless Rocnel Sailor. And maybe the Blackland's Tradere.

I'm guessing, this isn't aimed at me but for the true shaving elites that own or have owned Raw RS or the LA BBS-1.
Even looks like a trophy on its stand.

I have the privilege of using this razor for two weeks.
In that time I'll find out if this, for me, is a daily, every other day or special occasion razor. And if I NEED one in my den.

Tedalus Velocity One vs. H&S Co N075 TriMetal/Nacet/Wald A1/Hags - Mr. Rick X Mas
-
I was asked about this shave off, so it was immediately put into action. The specs are relatively similar - both have a neutral exposure - the N075 has a 0.75 gap, the Tedalus has a 0.89 gap and both have excellent bladeclamping.
Design, workmanship, packaging and finish of course go to the Tedalus - but the shave was exciting!
As for the sound - the H&S sounded a bit shriller and louder than the Tedalus despite the excellent bladeclamping (especially on the baseplate) - this was also evident in the shave - the H&S was smooth and comfortable but the Tedalus was simply even smoother and had less bladefeel but with the same if not a more efficient shave. The blade in the Tedalus also felt tighter/better clamped.
The Tedalus glided better over the skin and just went about its business without any fuss, which I attribute to its finish and top cap/baseplate design.
In terms of durability, I can say in advance that the Tedalus is better for me - it lasts about 14/15 hours depending on the blade and hair growth - the H&S lasts about 12/12.5 hours.
Of course, the H&S only costs 1/4 of the Tedalus, but I don't want to consider the price because it should only be about shaving.
Definitely a candidate that is not far off when it comes to shaving and does a great job. Dont get me wrong - both shaves were smooth, efficient and leaved my skin without any redness, blood or damage. The Tedalus just did it better.

Merry Christmas
