Here is one for a Doctor I am working, this is his current which I did not design!

And here is one I was working on for myself, but have kind of abandoned for now. So, there is a quick portfolio if you will. Let me know if you are interested!

I would definately be interested in working out some type of trade! If I do decide to go ahead with a website it would be something very simple and something that I could periodically update myself. Because of this, I almost think that it would be worth it to learn about how to use a basic program (I think dreamweaver is popular) and learn to do something myself. Maybe you could offer a little simple consulting and steer me in the right direction in return for razors and or honing services/lessons. Lets stay in touch about this.

If I see the word HO then I have to have it for some reason . Seriously though, JohnP. was nice enough to give me that HO when I was first starting out. I did not really want it because it was a little dirty so I thought that I would return the favor and give you your very own Ho. Everyone should have at least one HO lol

yeah i agree... at least one

but yeah man, like i said... keep me posted if either you have one or you know of someone or you see an ad for a nice wedge, doesnt HAVE to be W&B, but i think im best off with a wedge... im feeling like i appreciate rigidity in a razor...

Sounds like a plan. I keep my code simple, so you should easily be able to learn. What OS do you use?

this thread has gone quite a bit off topic, but it seems warlock doesn't mind it and he already got answers...

David, i think having a simple website would be great. i'd talk with the other vendors and see what works for them. You definitely need adding/removing products to be as simple as possible, esp. since you don't have multiples of the same product. i think that's the most critical part, so talking to people that have tried it in practice would really help. (you don't want to end up with a qed-type of thing.) and i'm thinking if you would be targeting newbies from outside of srp you need to figure out how to take pictures as good as those of traveller or wirebeard. your descriptions are amazing, but they may not be enough for that extra target group you are trying to reach. and it looks like jerry can help you a lot with this and the overall design and making things look profesional.

(i hate dreamweaver and contribute, but it may work for you, esp if you have few pages only and small traffic and would conduct the actual transactions via aditional emails and paypal. but that would be like qed, won't it...)

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread, just trying to help out a fellow member in a barter system. Great points on how the site should work, I have an idea for this also! I am a professional photographer as well, the photo of my wife on my personal site is my own, so the photos of the blades can be made to look professional even if I have to send some photos and give a brief class on how to do it. I believe Heavy will be easily taught!

yeah you screwballs... quit hijacking my thread... dammit! lol j/k

warlock - one phrase for you "thy shalt reapeth what you soweth... ", true despite that you're enjoying it

yeah jerry, i noticed your avatar few weeks ago - not the usual fare
then i saw your website too - i'm sure you guys can do great stuff.

Between your Wapi and your Boker, you have two blades that perform well. I understand that you would prefer a wedge, but if you cannot get good results from the razors you have (again, assuming that they're sharp enough), you're probably not going to get good results from a "nice wedge". My first oh-yeah-THAT'S-the-kind-of-shave-I-should-be-getting were with a Wapi with the original steel scales. They're a pretty stiff razor and give very different feedback than a hollow ground. Save your money for now because I don't think a wedge is going to give you the immediate success you are looking for.
