    I would contact them and start a conversation. It's not that much money but a chat will uncover a lot. First thing I would ask is " how much for 50 pieces and would the shipping still be within 5 days" :<0)

    2nd question...What is the return policy.

    Hmm, never heard of them. If you pull the trigger on one, let us know how it does.

    I'm interested to hear whatever you find out about these.

    My initial reaction is that they have slightly odd proportions. The tang is so wide relative to the blade, they almost look like larger razors that have a ton of hone wear. But that's just an aesthetic impression. I know nothing about these folks, but do remain hopeful that other new makers of quality gear will emerge.

    Two things I'll note about the strop: first the leather surface *looks* pretty rough, although photos can obviously be deceiving. Second, If one wants to market a quality leather product with rivets like that, take the time to line up your rivets. A true craftsman would pay attention to details like that...

    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.

    Interesting-Unusual designs and proportions on both scales and blades. I'd like to read some reviews.

    I don't know what to make of that.

    'The Hydra' blade is misspelled on the tang.

    Maybe it's just a very new company, but I find it a little odd that they only sell razors and strops. There is no soap or brushes etc etc, that hits an off note. We do have members in the area, perhaps someone knows someone that know something.

    Look closer, the angle makes the 'H' look like a 'B'.

    I live here, I'll do my due dilligence. I may pay them a visit after finals week. I will keep you all posted!
    I'd love to support the locals.
