    Default HART STEEL STRAIGHT RAZORS

    I have seen this American companies offering in the Forum (very impressive).

    Does anyone out there have real life info about this companies product or have experience with their straight razors?

    I go out of my way to buy American but will not compromise on quality or workmanship.

    I am a "nubie" (+/-) and a seeker (not a sucker).

    Experience and sage advise is something I treasure.

    If you use the search function, there is a long discussion about them. To summarize, consistency is an issue, and the quality early on (like most products) was not the greatest. That's all I recall, and I don't own one myself.

    With the Hart razor I was able to handle and shave with which I detail in the review link I found the razor to be very well constructed, substantial and all around an impressive razor.

    I recall reading that the early proof of concept razors were great, but the early production ones were slightly lacking. Maybe not as much in quality, but in consistency between razors. As I said, I don't own one nor have I every used one, I was just passing on my interpretation of the article, not meant to offend.

    Also, I seem to recall hearing that the issues with them have been largely cleared up, so anyone interested in buying a new one shouldn't have anything to worry about.

    Sorry for any confusion or offense
