Good ol' Gus! I'm still waiting for a den pic from Gus showcasing his razors.
Sad news gentlemen, but as of 2 days ago Raw Shaving as a company has abruptly dissolved & will no longer be making this fantastic razor. I'm not sure of all the reasons except that it has nothing to do with health reasons or the razors not selling due to high price or gimmicky marketing. From all dealings I've heard, Avi is a true gentlemen & had fantastic customer service. So sad to think the RS10 will never be made again. I wish Avi well & hopefully sometime in the future he can get back around to it.
Sadly, in this wonderful hobby of ours there is a lot of turnover in the vendor department. It's expensive to make these types of products and often the profit margin isn't enough as well as if you really think about it, it's a niche market so you are limited in sales. Couple that with most artisans (soaps, razors, what have you) work full time jobs and life happens so may have to set aside the hobby. Sorry to hear another quality product has become unobtanium.
Yep, the unobtainium market is crazy expensive just from examples like the BBS-1 and the Paradigm 17-4, & now for sure the RS10 will join these others as a legendary hard to find razor as they weren't produced for very long. I've never tried those others, but the RS10 is the best DE razor in my den!
