Basically the origin story for the BBS-1 is as follows:

One afternoon I was surfing reddit (as most of us are wont to do), and I ran across a guy posting in one of the small business / entrepreneurial subreddits asking if anybody had any recommendations for something a machinist could do as a side gig to pull in some extra funds.

I asked him if he'd ever given any thought to making safety razors, and I linked him to a google image search so he could see what they looked like.

He said that looks pretty simple, so I said "How about I ship you some razors and gear and you can play around with them and shave with them and think up some ideas, and then if you come up with something, you can make them and I can sell them and everybody wins?"

He said OK, so I sent him some shaving gear and then we emailed back and forth with questions and ideas and a few months later I got a package with 4 safety razors in it. I tried one and thought it was pretty great.

Then I asked him how much he wanted for it. (I'd been thinking this whole time he'd crank them out for $30 or so, I'd sell them for $60 or so, and we'd make them in volume.) When he told me what he wanted (which wasn't $30 per, obviously) I had a pause, and said "I can pay you that, but that means that they're going to be some of the most expensive razors on the market. I tell you what, I've got 3 here, let's put those up for sale, and if they sell, then maybe we've got something.

I listed them and went to bed. When I woke up, all three were sold. We took some initial feedback from those 3 customers about making the handle a little more grippy, and we've made some tiny changes to the tolerances since, but other than that, they're pretty much the same all the way through, and they've been pretty much sold out the whole run.

Now James is making razors full time, between the BBS-1 and his own Wolfman Razors.

Not bad for an off the cuff post on a small business subreddit.

А это ответ Джона мне , на мою просьбу , дать источник правды о истории создания и авторства BBS-1 ;)
