I agree with a lot of these points.
While I don't have a Hart, nor have ever gotten the chance to use one, I find they look extremely boring...ESPECIALLY for the price. For that price, I could indeed get a TI that would shave just as well and have more aesthetic choice than just picking which scales you want.
The main point that keeps me from wanting a Hart is the fact that for $100 more, I can get a custom razor and have it be exactly what I want in every way.
I don't see what's so special about them...yeah it's American made...big deal, so is a Robert Williams or a Brian Brown.
Any of the positive points that Glen brought up can be replicated by any custom razor maker.
Again, this is all the opinion and logic of someone who's never even held a Hart razor...so take it with a grain of salt!

I don't own one but have honed many as well. I find their look very cool in a minimist kind of way. As GS said, the steel can be temperamental but when honed correctly they are awesome.

Who knows, maybe I'm missing out
Now, if they forged their razors from meteorites...THAT would be something to add to the collection!

Really good-looking scales. What are they made from - some kind of spalted wood?
BTW, very handsome brush too. Did you make the handle?
Nice, attractive set, both of them are great looking.Last edited by bruseth; 10-21-2013 at 03:06 AM.

The Hart came in Saturday's mail and I shaved with it Sunday.
Pros: Well executed work. The edge was truly "shave ready." I gave it a light stropping and never looked back.
Cons: The scales are thick and chunky. The square cross section takes some getting used to. I may take the outside corner down to make it more comfortable to hold.
Overall: I'm quite pleased with it. It's a BIG razor and it does take some getting used to. However, I found it easy to control.Last edited by GeauxLSU; 10-21-2013 at 01:15 PM.

Thanked: 12Sweet razors that arrive shave ready. When it is time to hone, one layer of tape and it is a breeze. I have a 6/8 and 7/8 square point. They add nice depth to my choice of users.
