Essence Razor

This thing is an absolute piece of work. The curves are amazing. The way it shaves is fantastic with a Feather AC blade. The stand is exceptional.

I typically use a straight razor to define and trim the edges of my beard. I have several straight razors and a Feather shavette. The Essence Razor is my go-to razor now. It comes closer to the shave I get with a traditional straight razor and, in my opinion, superior to the Feather shavette.

I have been a straight razor user for 15 years. I love sharpening my razors
and have enough stones and razors to open a retail store. I have Jnats,
coticles, Arks, Eschers and many others as well. I have Italian razors, German razors
English razors as well as 30 double edge razors and half a dozen shavettes.

Why? I was always looking for the perfect combination between razor and stone
Guess what? It doesn't exist.

However I found near perfection with this razor. WOW! I absolutely love this razor
Opening the blade compartment was a bit hard for me as I wasn't able to simply slide them apart.
Why, The polish is so high and my hands would slide off. But, I found that if I placed my thumb on the notch they simply separated
and I am able to swap out for a new feather blade

This razor is expensive. It is for the big boys. But you can pass it on to your grandchild
Yes it is heirloom quality

the razor is fantastic, and Manuel Mikasy is formidable, I will definitely also take the velocity one because whoever wants a brand and a guarantee is only Tedalus who can give it to you

Hacia tiempo que no utilizaba este estilo de afeitado y me decidí al estar muy contento con mi Velocity One.

No me equivoque. Todo un acierto.

Calidad por donde la mires.

Al principio, después de tanto tiempo sin utilizar este tipo de afeitado, me costó adaptarme a ella.

Pero con su tacto, peso y sensación perfecta, en pocos afeitados me he acostumbrado.

Estoy utilizando la cuchillas Feather ProGuard y se adaptan espectacular. Además colocarlas y quitarlas es súper sencillo.

También quiero destacar su agarre. Increíble.

La base al igual que la brocha y la Velocity, simplemente preciosa.

A veces tan más ganas de mirarla que usarla. Una obra de arte atemporal.

El envío y recepción súper rápido. En ocasiones a tardado más un producto comprado dentro de mi país que la Essence desde Suiza.

En resumen, tanto si es la primera vez, como no, recomiendo su compra. Es un producto para toda la vida. Además de un objeto de deseo. Claro,si te lo puedes permitir.

Agradecer a Manuel, por sus rápidas respuestas cada vez que he tenido una pregunta y animarle a seguir diseñando esta clase de productos tan especiales como maravillosos.

Seguiré confiando en ellos.

It was worth waiting for it. The razor is great. Just mind that you have to pay custom. what in my case is 80 EUR. I didn’t think about it in the EFTA environment.

Premium quality and build. Setting the blade is a little tricky (easily learned), but shaving is a joy. Perfect balance in the hand with just the right amount of weight. Attack angle is easy to adjust and resultant shave is comfortably close.
Highly recommended

I've had the pleasure of using the Tedalus VEOLOCITY-One safety razor, the Essence shavette, and the Helios brush, and I'm thoroughly impressed. Each piece is an epitome of functional elegance. The design is clearly well-thought-out, the engineering is precise, and the manufacturing is top-notch. They perform flawlessly, providing a close and comfortable shave. Beyond their practical use, these tools offer a unique intellectual and emotional satisfaction. You can feel the passion and dedication of the craftsman in every detail. If you appreciate fine craftsmanship and a superior shaving experience, look no further.

The Tedalus VEOLOCITY-One, Essence, and Helios set has completely transformed my shaving routine. It's rare to find products that so perfectly balance form and function.

• VEOLOCITY-One Razor: The design is both modern and timeless. The engineering provides a smooth, efficient shave with minimal irritation.
• Essence Shavette: This shavette offers incredible precision and control. It's clearly designed for those who appreciate the art of traditional shaving.
• Helios Brush: The brush creates a rich lather and feels luxurious against the skin. It's the perfect complement to the razor and shavette.

What truly sets these products apart is the feeling they evoke. They’re more than just tools; they're tangible evidence of a master craftsman's passion. Using them is a deeply satisfying experience, both intellectually and emotionally. I highly recommend these products to anyone who appreciates exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

Pay attention! This site sells products without VAT! In order to be able to take possession of the product already paid for, I had to pay an additional fee of €110. I was not informed before I placed the order, nor after I paid for the product in full, about these conditions. This information is not transparently present, but hidden somewhere on the site if you look for it. The site sells with reverse charge. So you will have to pay extra VAT according to the legislation of the country you live in, plus customs duties. And if you decide not to pick up the product, you will lose the amount paid for the transport fee that will be retained by the seller (approximately €60, in my case). If you pay all these fees and you are not satisfied with the product and want to return it, you will lose the return shipping fee plus customs and VAT. Estimated €180-200 if you make a simple return. I consider this shopping experience to be totally disappointing. At the same time, the product is very good. It's a shame about the services offered and the final experience, which is far from a premium experience

The product is very good, the quality of the shaving being above that of feather artist (ss or dx) but - the quality of the material is inferior. After a first shave, the device shows multiple traces of fine scratches. And it came from the factory with finishing and processing imperfections. Totally unacceptable for this price range. The finishes leave much to be desired, again the price of the product is not commensurate with the quality offered. These imperfections or quality deviations would have been acceptable for a product that costs between 70 and 130 Euros. But in no case for a product that has a final cost of €525. For example, none of the feather ss or dx devices I own show signs of wear, after many uses. But the tedalus from the first has multiple fine scratches and water stains remain, the device must be wiped persistently and carefully with a soft towel to remove the stains. I think that if the finish had been matte and not glossy, the device would have been much easier to maintain and would not show any signs of use.

Conclusion: the final experience does not reflect the premium price of the product. Both the services offered and the device do not rise to the quality level of the price. But the shaving experience is a very good one, above all the shavettes on the market.

I have never had good luck with a shavette-type of razor. I have suffered some of my worst cuts (really slices) with shavettes. I have never had a problem with DE and straight razors. I decided to give this razor a try after watching a review on You-Tube. The person providing the review is a religious str8 razor shaver. He stated that the Tedalus Essence was the closest thing to a str8 razor he has used. I gave it a try. It is a pricey razor and I have paid more for other razors. When I tried it for the first time, I used it as I would for any of my str8 razors. I was quite impressed. It did feel like a str8 razor. I have had many shaves with it and never cut myself. I like the razor because I can swap out blades and not need the stropping/honing os a traditional str8 razors.
