As karstdvr and CamG have implied, it is a hard question to answer, as stated. The two are very different systems, with primarily the word 'sidemount' being the common denominator. Cam also made a good point about the lift provided by the Nomad, compared to the Razor. But, I am curious about two things: 1) Why are you considering the Razor? That's not a negative question by any means. The 'retail' availability of the Razor is fairly limited and I was wondering what attracted you to it. I have never seen a Razor outside of Steve's videos, but would love to try one simply because of the videos - he makes the dives look so effortless that they are inspirational irrespective of the gear configuration, and the unit is certainly streamlined. 2) Why did you frame your question around the Razor and the Nomad in particular, considering what could be described as an explosion of availability of commercial SM rigs (e.g. Hollis, Armadillo, Oxycheq, OMS, Dragon, etc, and some other 'innovator available only' units as well), as well as adaptations of other rigs to SM, many of which are described in SB threads? Again, that is not intended as a negative question at all (nor am I disagreeing with your choices). Rather, I would be interested in your reasoning.What do you guys think of Steve Bogaert's Razor harness?Just need to know if i should buy it or is the nomad better?
