I guess the impression I had was that Hart Steel Razors had a single manufacturing facility with a single employee "artisan" making each razor single-handedly, on this HSR site. It appears my perception is wrong, and Hart Steel Razors is basically a mail order shipping facility that sells razors made to HSR specifications by contractors...?

Don't get me wrong, I love my Hart Razor, but if this is actually the process, I'm think I'm pretty much out of the market for any more. It feels...I dunno...dirty. Too many guys out there making razors with their own names on them for the same money. I know when I spend my money on a comparably priced custom (say, the Robert Williams SRP Custom) I'm getting something the Artisan was proud enough to put his name on, and with it, his reputation.




But then again, I'm cranky and it's been a hell of a week...
