It was time to make hay while the sun shone.

You aussies should invade us, then rebuild our roads and schools. The only way you can get cheap razors again.

There isn't any mass produced aussie razors to buy. Custom makers are relatively unknown, and those that are, are already here, with the marketplace right in front of them. How are the sales going boys?

You wouldn't say things like that if you saw the state of our roads and schools! You're better off not having us invade anything,we'd only make it as far as the first pub!

That's unless there's pub crawl on or there's a bet going.

True, true.

lots of interest but no one seems to have spending money for razors, but knives sell. Go figure. i have stalled a little working a few jobs 7 days and 5 nights a week and filling knife backorders but hope to be back to razors this month. i did get over to Stu's place {http://straightrazorpalace.com/members/str8raz0r.html} last Friday night and he has his custom built razor grinder up and running. He has a couple of razors underway and his work is beautiful - puts my earliest efforts to shame.

I definitely recommend staying in touch with him. i will post myself whan i have my next batch done. I have refined my designs and have some MDF templates made up so am ready to go when steel arrives.
Regards,
Adam.

I reckon Stu should use me and you for testers Adam, by giving us each a razor of his own making

. Talking about making sharp things, I know I was left amazed by the quality of the work of one of my own mates, and how few mistakes he made in his knifemaking hobby...After I gave him some one on one instruction in how to go about it and what pitfalls to avoid.
I think Stu may also have benefitted from listening to others such as yourself, in much the same way my mate did with me.
