3 D Printed Wet Shaving Gear : Moving Up

 

I’m really impressed how 3-D printed wet shaving gear has come along. From razors to brushes and all in between, the quality is getting better.

Collector Series: Apollo Mikron 

 

 

The extremely rare yet innovative Apollo Mikron was released in limited quantity around the 1950’s and consisted of a similar design as Gillette’s Fatboy.  The adjustment knob on the bottom can actually be removed and the inner mechanism can be adjusted further to the user’s preference.  Earlier Apollo models were designed to use only Apollo blades but later models accept all double edge blades.
There is not much information on these hefty razors from Germany. The lack of date codes makes it almost impossible to accurately find production times. Some will argue that the Apollo was created before Gillette even produced their first adjustable.  One thing’s for sure, this is one cool razor!
