What are you anxiously waiting to be delivered ???

What I don't get, is why put all that effort into a razor and then only make 51? If it's that good, the price, though high, doesn't limit the customer base to anywhere near 51 people in the world.

The razor was expensive to make. More so than many or maybe any razor that even close to that price range. So the profit on it is less than let’s say a $500 3 piece razor cost to make So the man tried doing a Kickstarter which failed to raise the capital needed to make a 100 or so of the razors and it could have died there! After meeting Eric at the Maggard shave meet up myself along with a couple of members felt we didn’t want to see that happen so we came up with a plan for him to pre sell the razor to get it out to the wet shaving community and the minimum order from the machine shop was 50 razors so in theory if the 50 were sold it would not only get the razor out to market but also help provide some funding for the next batch. I can also say that after many many talks with Eric the man is not in it for the money as his main goal. He truly believes and loves this project and now that the first 50 are pre sold once they get to their owners I’m sure he will start working on a 2nd batch. At the time of its conception the market for $500 plus razors was very limited so he wanted to gentility step into the water to test it rather than jump into it. Like I mentioned there have been a few razors that are now in the $500 and plus range so we will have to wait and see how this plays out for Eric and the razor.

Hope that sort of explains the reason why only 50 will be released to start.

Thanks for that, it all makes sense now. Thank you for helping get the project off the ground.

Thank you and yeah once I used the prototype I was like there’s no way I want to see this project die. So I’m glad it all worked out in the end for Eric . He told me on the phone last week that he’s so excited to see his vision become real, alive and touchable.

He’s one heck of a good guy and I’ll gonna have him become a member on here as well as I think he will fit it.
 
Just put in an order for various blades. Single edge blades, AC blades (Kai and Feather Pro Super) from tryablade, and a 100 pack of Gillette 7 O'clock Permasharp Stainless. And I'm probably gonna order a pizza in a few minutes. Pizza party anyone???

Nevermind me, it you feed pizza to cats, I have one who's on his way over as we speak.

This little guy loves stealing human food, especially Doritos.

Yep, he'll be there shortly. [emoji846]
