Thread: Ralf Aust Razor

Sure...

They are set up for direct sales on their website http://rasiermesser-manufaktur.de/

The page is in German but it is easily translated using "Google Translate" or something similar.

You essentially go to the appropriate section of the site, choose your razor "build" options, then add to cart and go to checkout. PayPal seems to be the preferred means of payment. After the checkout process, you receive an invoice and the razor should ship a few days after that (if it's in stock). No idea how long shipping takes. I ordered on May 17...was told it will be dispatched today.

In all it's a pretty simple process I think. Only other source I have seen for Ralf Aust razors is SRD and they seem to sell out fairly quickly. Small wonder. I think the Aust blades are easily a better product than the majority of production razors out there, very competitively priced too. I am really looking forward to the new one.
