This is beautiful, but for those of us not willing/able to dish out 400 bucks let me tell you about Henson razors. Designed and made in Ontario, Canada by a precision machining company that specializes in aerospace components - made of aluminum - about $75 USD. I’ve been shaving over 50 years and have tried everything out there (except a 400 USD offering) and the Henson is my Holy Grail. https://hensonshaving.com/

(1) I wash mine in down wash the right way, I know what I’m doing. It isn’t that long. Down doesn’t hold up to repeated compression that long.

(2) memory foams aren’t unknown polymers, and if you get a certified one (greengaurd/centipur), you don’t need to worry about off gassing. 15 years ago if you got a random piece of uncertified foam it could be a concern, not anymore. No more than you could have an issue with a cotton pillow case covered in unknown chemicals.

Edit: btw, any time release capsule has a tartaric acid-based polymer - which is a petrochemical. Ditto for about a zillion things. Hand sanitizer? Yup. Analgesic gel? Aspirin? Most creams.

Is this the one that has the battery compartment just in case the power goes off in the middle of the night and the clock resets? I remember there being a household upgrade of clock radios. From the ones without backup battery power to ones with battery compartments, and my mother won't admit it, but I know it's because she watched Home Alone and frightened herself into an insane clock radio upgrade situation.
