A little bit later than planned:
The SSSeygus Extrem.
After the initial mild models Seygusrazor now issues models with a wider (0.6 mm) blade gap.
The SSSeygus Extrem is in 2 versions:
![[Image: otjdCcZ.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/otjdCcZ.jpg)
A aluminum anodised (red) model - OC (left) and a titanium model - SB (nickel plated with
teflon coating - right).
Almost traditionally, they are 4-piece razors: the head is 2-piece and the handle is 2-piece.
The handle consists of a (short) aluminum/titanium part and a SS part - it's there for the
balance.
The razors "in pieces":

Weights of the individual parts:
Left the aluminum SSSeygus:
Head 14 g
SS part 20 g
Handle 20 g
Total 54 g holes to
Right the titanium SSSeygus:
Head 14 g
SS part 20 g
Handle 25 g
Total 59 g
The titanium SB razor has rather big holes for the "transport" of the lather:

These holes are 4 mm wide (and very effective).
Attempted to illustrate the differences in blade gap:

Below the SSSeygus SB.
Shaved with both Extrems for a couple of weeks - after a short learning period these
razors are terrific - probably more effective than their predecessors .....
Do these razors have any flaws ?
Yes - 1 tiny, tiny flaw: the threaded end of the cap is a tiny bit (a few hundredths of a mm)
too thick.
Inserting and removing the blade needs some attention ...
For the rest: wonderful razors !

To me, the extension looks "industrial", the rest of the razor looks well crafted. I also have a Hone 15a which has won design awards. I agree there is no chance the Seygus will bring home any modern design trophies.
I find the length very good with the extension. I would think the Seygus would be too short without.
