C utz

anyone seen C utz around in a while? he was always a good sorse of info.

Not in a while, no.
Couple of months ago we exchanged PMs, but that's the last time I noticed him around.

He travels for the rest of the week. Couple of days ago I have received from him email.

Actually we've had several longtime members who have drifted away. I guess peoples lives change and they have to reorganize their activities.

Last October I bought a custom straight from C_utz, a Le Grelot 6/8, 3/4 to full hollow with stainless steel scales. He had ordered it through Martin at RasurPur.de and waited a long time to get (I know because I contacted Martin to see if I could get another made just like it). Anyway, this razor immediately became by favorite and, in fact, since it arrived I have had no interest in shaving with any other. It is such a good razor that I've been wondering how he could ever have let it go. Now, I think I know the answer ... I think he's given up shaving with a straight, probably because it's too hard to travel with. At least that's my fantasy.

Dream on Mc Duff. He has a very large selection of razors and other gear. I guarantee he isn't leaving straight shaving. But nice try anyway fantasy or not.

Maybe his wife found out how much time he was spending watching razor porn? :shrug:

I'm sure Alex is about. Probably just busy with his sons first birthday.

Actually the line is;
" ... Lay on Macduffe,
And damn'd be him, that first cries hold, enough.", but the spelling is commonly accepted as 'Macduff'.

Mike ratliff, Scarface

C utz was selling a bunch of razors a while ago. I bought something off him maybe a month or two ago. Sounded like he's just very busy. :shrug:

And that's a tragedy. Vlad is a true artist who holds himself to the highest standards. I miss him around here.

I was going to mention Vlad as well. Of all the people who left, I was most sorry to see him go. A true artist.

As for the list: Bill Ellis comes to mind.
And Joe Chandler is around less than once in a blue moon.
