Tedalus Velocity-ONE. Unboxing & First Use of this $1000 Ultra-High End Razor
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 січ 2024
- I have the opportunity of taking for a test shave, The Tedalus Velocity-One Razor. I don’t own it, but I get to try it. It is probably the most expensive current production DE Razor on the market today. Made in Switzerland and inspired by the Formula One Race cars, I am looking forward to giving this one a try. I’ll be using the very familiar Proraso Green Soap and aftershave in this video as well as the Wilkinson Sword Gillette Blade.

Info from their website-
Tedalus is a Swiss-based design grooming brand, founded in 2019 by Swiss designer, Manuel Mikasi. Deeply entrenched in the transformative power of rituals, Manuel was fascinated by the time-honored tradition of wet shaving.
To him, it wasn’t merely a grooming task; it emerged as a powerful ritual allowing men to pause from their fast-paced lives, connect with their core selves, and reenergize. With renewed clarity and focus, it empowers men to live each day to its fullest potential, ensuring each moment is maximized in a conscious and purposeful manner.
Drawing inspiration from the thrilling world of motorsport, the Velocity-One transcends the definition of a mere safety razor. It stands as a testament to self-confidence, ingenious design, and unparalleled craftsmanship. Every contour and subtle line mirrors the aerodynamic sophistication of the world's finest racing machines. Boasting a precision-engineered silhouette head paired with a distinctively tapered cylindrical handle, the Velocity-One is birthed from the marriage of advanced multi-axis CNC technology and the time-honored art of hand polishing. Together, they form a masterpiece, epitomizing the zenith of art and engineering.
SWISS MADE
Crafted with Swiss precision, the Velocity-One is a testament to unparalleled quality and design.

Thanks for your review! We're happy to hear that you are pleased with our razor.
I would like to correct the false impression that it is limited to 100 pieces. The Velocity-ONE is NOT a limited edition razor.
Thanks for the info!👍👍👍
Great review Ken.
I began wet shaving in 1976 and this beats all my other high end razors, Karve, Wolfman, Carbon, RS-10 and Rocnel- this is in a league of its own.
People drop money on the things they are passionate about, cars, watches, whiskey - it’s not for everyone but for me it’s worth it.
Don’t like it, ignore it and move on.
Well said👍💈💈💈
I own a tedalus velocity one, and I love it. The way it looks is one thing, but it shaves as good as it looks. Gives me a lot of pleasure on each use..
It was an awesome shave for sure👍💈💈What number do you have
@@kensurfs #19
Very classy presentation of such a quality gem there Ken. If I can't own one myself it was great to have you of all people do the unboxing presentation and narration. Much appreciated!
Thank you kindly👍💈💈
Good comment!
I got number 13 in the production run, ordered within minutes of being released.
Arrived next day, first shave was memorable & extremely pleasant.
It's in a league of its own, only the Rocnel Elite, Atelier Durdan Le Maurice & RS-18 can compete with it.
Still evaluating whether it's the best yet but there will not be a lot in it.
Great shave & review Kenneth 👍
Thank you
On no! Ken's been 86'd!!!! 😆
I LOVE Proraso green. My go to.
👍👍👍👍
Without the 'stash, you look 10 years younger! A safety razor that expensive deserves a gold-plated blade😉 As far as the price, people spend extravagantly on many things most of us would never consider purchasing. I say to each his own. But I'm happy with my Rockwell 6S. Thanks for sharing, Ken.
Thank you👍💈
True, I guess people pay $2000 to go on a 7 day vacation to the Dominican Republic.
Wow Ken u look so much younger without the stash! Great Video🎉
Wow, thanks
This product is a lesson in what diminishing returns/an asymptote is.
💈💈
When Matt P of Razor Emporium reviewed this razor, I was thinking $1,000 bucks is way over the top for a DE razor even if it's Swiss made and inspired by a race car. Glad you got to use one though and the shave turned out good. Bummer, no burn🤨 Enjoy!
Thanks Terry👍💈
Wow, what a razor! Thanks for sharing this great shave and the unboxing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!👍💈💈
That is definitely a nice razor. I would love to have one. Keep up the great work Ken!
Thanks, will do!👍💈💈
When I saw the title of the video I thought maybe he’ll shave the stash off with it. Then was making my lunch for work and did not see your face right away and then totally forgot until you mentioned you had taken it off already. Great shave Ken. That’s a lot for a razor and would want it to also make my dinner for that kind of money but hats off to those who can afford it.
👍👍
I really like the Proraso "Green" menthol, too.
Love the cooling feeling on the face.
Thinking of saving up for one of those stoneware scuttles that holds boiling water to keep one's lather nice & warm! Georgetown Potters has a nice one, hand-fashioned, too.
Always enjoy another visit to Ken's Relaxing Shave Den.
Thanks, friend...
Thank you👍👍
Great shave. Nice to see the normal look you back after a couple of months of sporting the goatee and then mustache. The razor looks great, but my bank account would be completely drained and bankrupt if I bought it. Have a good one!
Thanks 👍
I got an email on the 12th that Shavemac are not going to be making custom brushes anymore as of 2/29. Which is a shame because they make some beautiful handles. So if anybody has been on the fence about ordering one, you better get your whatsis in gear. The clock is ticking!
Thanks for the info, just configured mine, they have been on my wishlist for a while, along with Thater, I managed to get a Thater before they closed for good. I wanted a bespoke Shavemac and the number of times I've been on the configuration tool only to be totally undecided about the handle colour and bottled it, so I just went for it, I have about 4/5 colours I get stuck on so I just picked one and went for it. Thanks, I would have been gutted if I'd missed out, their ready made are nice just not quite as nice as the custom and being able to get the grade, knot size, loft etc on your preferred handle, and the value is superb, this was less than half the cost of an equivalent Simpsons brush (mind you I do love my Simpson brushes too)
Thanks👍👍
🎉🎉🎉🎉 many thanks Ken
You are very welcome👍💈👍
Awesome unboxing & shave there Ken, hope u are enjoying this razor.
👍👍💈💈
All that money and it's not even adjustable? Nuts
💈💈
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it👍💈💈💈
i got my razor about 6 years ago for about $30. it's heavy, well made, and comfortable to use. i nick myself maybe once every 6 months and i get a bbs shave every single time, usually in one pass. i spend less than $10 per year on blades and tobs shaving cream. can't imagine why anyone would want to spend more !
👍💈💈
Oh, what would you be willing to spend $1000 on bring you extreme pleasure?
Excellent shave Ken. I don't think that I'd be buying a $1K razor though but it's nice to be able to try one out though.
👍👍💈💈💈
The race car of DE razors. Assuming they stick to only producing 100 units, it will absolutely increase in value over time as long as it’s in pristine condition.
👍👍
Greed will get the better of them.
I can just about guarantee they'll produce more!
The value of this razor will only increase if people are willing to spend so much money on a razor that (let's be honest) does not bring any innovation to the market.
A Much better look without the stash. I had one for many years and the downside, after I shaved it off, was I couldn’t smell what I had for lunch the rest of the afternoon 🙈
lol
Hi Ken, The razor is absolutely beautiful. But so expensive. So here it is…. This hobby is really about passion. Collecting watches is also about passion. It all depends on the degree of passion someone has if he is going to buy the Rolex or the Velocity. Best regards, Glenn
Razor is nice price yes it’s high due to packaging and all..overall it’s nicely done except under the top cap was huge disappointment why they skip that part??
I’ve shaved with it as my cousin bought one and shared with me nothing that I can say it blew me off compared to Paradigm razors or Wolfman for instance..
At the end hey ymmv buy what you like and enjoy that’s the bottom line 😁
Alan H
Thank you👍💈💈
cool razor review👍
Glad you liked it👍💈
Enjoyed the Tedalus Velocity-one review. Beautifully designed. I saw that you received a comment from Tedalus razors to say that their razor was'nt a limited edition, so you may still be in luck. 😂 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Hey Ken, here in Indy they have a 2 seater Indy car that a professional driver can take you around the oval in 😊
👍👍👍
When the video began I said, "come on, Ken, you had the Rex Ambassador, how expensive can the be?" I went to the website, no exaggeration on your part! North of $800.
Exactly 👍💈
Nice shave Ken. Fantastic razor. Obviously pricey. If I had the disposable income I’d buy it.
👍👍
Nice shave Ken, and Happy New Year.👍🏾. The shave looks so excellent and stress free as the razor seamlessly mowed down your stubbles.😊 Honestly this is quite a revolutionary razor, taking wet shaving into the realm of art. I stumbled on the website for this razor in December, and was so awed at the level of work that must have gone into its design and production. For those who deeply appreciate quality, $1000 is another expense to have a wonderful piece of functional piece of artwork, and I truly praise the maker of this remarkable piece. I personally have listed it as a possible buy as soon as is possible if it is still available when I have decided... simply to enjoy it's beauty and function for as long as I own it. Nice one Ken👍🏾😊
Thank you
Oh Yeah!!! Nice Bro!
Oh yeah!👍👍
Great review Ken!
Since this razor is inspired my Formula 1, I would have liked them to use titanium and carbon fiber materials. Other than that, a great looking razor.
👍👍
Ken! Just received my Velocity-One today! #078-this is an incredible razor. Just a fine looking razor. Tomorrow is the first shave!
Excellent 👍💈💈💈
Good morning my friend. I hope you are well.
I don’t care what anyone says-this razor is INCREDIBLE! I just had one of the best shaves ever with this razor. And I shave every 2 days with a variety of razors. The shave from this razor was so comfortable; and I did not have any cuts, no bleeding, no irritation-just a super smooth and comfortable shave.
Mr. Ken if it wasn’t for you I would still be shaving with a Mach 5…3….10 or whatever it is and hating it. But you inspired me to take the chance on wet-shaving after watching your Muhle R41 shave and I have gone down the rabbit hole ever since-a good thing because I enjoy my morning ritual of shaving now.
Thank you sir.
I’m growing my beard out for the first time in 15 years, mine grows in nice unlike my hair 😢. So I’ll watch you shave instead!
👍💈💈
Hey kensurfs great videos im born in California but i never been there
👍👍
Hallo Ken Great the Safety Razor 🪒, thank you for your nice video. Have a great day ken. Best greetings from Germany. 👍😊💈💈🪒
Thanks, you too!
I spoke it Manuel. There will be more than one hundred made. It's not a limited edition. They have started producing the next bulk of them and they will be ready April/May.
👍👍
I could never! I had to sell my REX ambassador because I couldn't see myself keeping it that's why I bought the Pearl flexi off you lol it's just as good in my opinion
👍👍
Wait, we didn't get moustache shave Ken!
💈💈
Wow that is one heck of a razor, although influenced by F1 engineering, I agree with you that quality of manufacture and finish is more in line with a Swiss watch than an F1 vehicle, mainly because F1 is built to be very light and often the finish is compromised to reduce weight. However that stand does look a little like a cut down piston. But $1000 is a lot for a watch
💈💈👍
Nice video. The razor is beautiful. I think they should have used Titanium.
👍💈💈
Past week I saw a Gillette President in very good condition (almost new), go for $1400+ on the 3ay........... Nice and interesting vid, cool razor with hot price
👍👍
Absolutely gorgeous razor. Would I buy it? Yes but I would have to save for a year first.
👍👍
*Finally! They've invented a razor for people with more money than sense!😂😂😂👌*
💈💈
Oh so thats what happen i was wondering if i missed it getting shaved off, oh wow crazy razor no way i would ever pay that price, sure i was a billionaire then maybe, nice shave video though stay safe, cheers....Peter
👍👍
Would you characterize this razor as mild, medium or aggressive? Thanks, Ken.
Medium to me
I would have liked to see a rubber cushion either on the handle or the stand that metal, on metal sound when you put it on the stand will become an issue over the years for me anyway apart from that excellent quality razor.
👍💈💈
Did we missed you taking off the moustache? 😢😢😢😢
Yeah, I accidentally trimmed it bad, so I took it off
@@kensurfs we all missed the party at the shave den! 😭😭😭
Ken, Omega has a better movement than Rolex and is a better watch. You have very good taste in watches.
I wear the Omega Seamaster 24/7
Nice shave and beautiful razor. Can't see me ever spending that much for a razor, even without the stand. I will stick to my Rockwell 6s and Yates razors. They give me great shaves. Have a great week. 👍🪒
Right on👍💈
For the price, I expected a worthy presentation.
💈💈
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
1000 dollars for a simple non adjustable 3 piece razor ??? I just don't see it.
💈💈
Great job! Hope you get to grow that musta he back. By looking at your hairline you’ll have it coming in majestically!
I hope so!👍👍
I would assume that people who spend about 1000 for a stainless steel razor will say that it's a great shaver because if they say anything bad about it they will feel ripped off.
This one felt really smooth on the test drive u did. I’m going to revisit the Rex Ambassador next
So, when I need to shave, I smash a beer bottle and shave with a shard. Is this bad?
That’s how my dad did it😀🇬🇧
For $1000, it better make my balls tingle when I shave.
👍💈💈
How can I get one 😊
I have a link in this video description
Better hurry. When I order mine there were only 3 left in stock.
How much
$$$$$
Ken your wife really trim the stache in the middle of the night? 😅
Lol
I got a Van Der Hagen and 980.00 bucks.
💈💈
A $1,000.00 shave! Damn!
👍👍
Ok, so why are we spending $1k for a simple three piece razor again?
💈💈
Meat Loaf said it best......You took the words right out of my mouth!
That's for the 007's of the world.
Why buy a nice version of anything? Because life is short and nice things are… nice.
The problem is that, there is nothing so nicer about this thing that isn't as nice with a DE89 or a R89 or a Rex ambassador and all of those finely machined razors hardly beat the $200 price tag@olf5212
Because there are guys that can afford it and they want one. Unfortunately, I’m only half of that demographic and it’s the wrong half! It’s the intersection of Capitalism and decadence! There is just something intriguing about craftsmanship at its finest!
I've heard that it shaves pretty much the same as the Karve Overlander. Brass or even the stainless steel is way cheaper. Sounds like this razor definately is a cash grab for sure.
💈💈💈
Wow $800
👍👍
I’ve blown some serious coin on this hobby over the past 10 years or so. BUT… $1k for a razor?? That’s a no from me, dawg.
💈💈💈
Lovely story. Awesome sport been following since the 90s…. But cmon people…. It’s shaving…
👍👍
For $1000 you might have waited for a 3 weeks of growrh. Rich mans razor....poor mans soap. Lol. Makes me wonder what shaving with the blades they supplied would have been like.
Feathers are really sharp to me. I prefer a milder blade.
I am just shocked how humans waste their money and buy mega expensive stuff pushed to them. What is next, rocket theme T-haver for 20 K ? This morning I got absolute glance shave with my plastic 50 cent T-shave razor :D
This one is not for everyone, I agree💈👍
It is pretty......but $1000 pretty?
lol💈💈💈💈
funny thins is you are going to use a 2 cents blade in a 1000usd razor. that's nuts. and the quality of the shave is depended on the blade. not worth it in my book
💈💈💈
So basically, whoever ultimately buys #86 is getting a used razor.😊
This one is a demo
You paid 1k for stainless steel.. and worse than that you bought the bullshit F1 story 😂
Did you watch the video. I didn’t buy it, I was loaned it to try out.
Nice video Ken ✨🪒👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Alan H
Thanks 👍💈👍👍
I look up the price 1,050 razor & stand. Wow ! Price up there ! Hey if you like the razor 🪒 and have the money to spend why not.
👍👍
Razor 🪒 looks nice !
👍👍
hey Ken, can you do an all blue themed shave? 🔵🦕🫐🥏
I’ll try👍💈
That's a nice looking razer men. I do I get one and how much does it cost to buy one man😊😊👍
A lot
