I ordered my Hart SR last week. I was hoping it would be in the mail but to my surprise classic shaving called me to ask about the scales I selected. They asked me detailed questions about the grain of the wood I selected (uniformity of them). Does anyone have any experiance with them? I thought that was pretty cool they called before making a decision.
Classic Shaving is the original on-line shave supply outfit. The founder used to be a member here though he passed several years ago. His family still runs the company.
LOL, I thought someone was mad at me/trying to get my attention:gaah:
They're a great vendor and easy to do business with. I never thought about this, but anymore it seems like any online vendor outside of the straight razor world that I buy from simply wants the money..except razor vendors. Sure they are in it to make a living, but they care about the customer and pride themselves on customer service. This here my friends must be the scientific explanation for very acquisition disorder I have. I like good customer service, therefore I purchase razor supplies!
My experience has been a little different. I sent them an email on Nov 4th of last year about a razor I felt May have some issues. I'm still waiting for a response.
Did you order the rosewood mine had a pin hole in them and I called to complain... Sight unseen they sent a replacement... Now that's serviceQuote:

Is the back side lighter than the front side... If so that's pretty sweetQuote:

Beautiful razor, I only buy vintage (and even cheapies of that category) due to tight finances. But one day when the extra is there I would love to buy a razor like this. I think the two-toned rosewood looks awesome!
Of course when I chop firewood and I split a chunk of oak or something, I stop and pick up the pieces and marvel at the grain and the colors. I guess I'm weird about stuff like that.
Pstrjp you will get 1 one of these days. I love some of the custom razors but won't ever be able to afford one so that was my "custom".
That's really nice. Do they have any in bloodwood? I would like to get myself one but I like the bloodwood finish.
Love your new blade congrats. My birthday is next month and I'm thinking about treating myself to one of these bad boys. What size and finish is your blade?
I really like the look of those Rosewood scales I like Hart Steel Razors but they need to change the scales I have 7 and no 2 are alike even the resin ones. The first 2 I got the resin scales were nice but as time went on they got worse then they added wood and I got 1 with Cocobolo they are ok. I had 1 done with Ebony its nice and a set done in Ivory and I really like that one. But I really like the look of those Rosewood ones[ATTACH=CONFIG]156213[/ATTACHH=C]
I think the 2 tone side is the coolest. Congratulations!
It's a 6/8 satin finish. Thanks brother.Quote:
