I assumed that's what it was too.

If that's what you're looking for, though, Bevel[0] was just launched.

(I used to get terrible razor burn - switching to a double edge razor has made a huge difference. Bevel didn't invent the concept, obviously, but they do make it very convenient.).

er, what exactly did they do to make it "very convenient"?

Their shaver looks very similar to a Merkur Futur [0], which has existed for ages and isn't considered by many to be the best safety razor. The cost for the razor is fair at $60, but they want to extract $30 a month afterwards! Insane! Their lineup consists of a priming oil, badger hair brush, shaving cream and aftershave balm. None of this is out of the ordinary for well equipped wet shavers, and costs nowhere near $30 a month to supply.

Oh well, if it's worth it to someone to subscribe and forget, what do I care. I would rather keep the money in my pocket. You only need to order wet shaving supplies perhaps once a year anyway, even less if you know what you like and stock up.

Notice the bullshit copy on their website: they conveniently leave standard single blade double edge razors out of their comparison matrix so that only the Bevel Razor gets the 6/6 checkmarks.
