Thread: Portland Razor Co.

I had been looking into getting a new razor for a bit now. While looking I was interested in another razor that I thought was made in the U.S. but come to find out it is only assembled in the states, still not sure where the blanks are made.

So my quest continued trying to find a razor made here in the U.S. Doing so I came across the Portland Razor Co. It is made here from start to finish which is exactly what I was in quest of.

Ordered one just the other day, the 6/8 Leviathan in ivory acrylic. Now the wait begins.

I think you made a great choice. Scott at Portland Razor Company takes a lot of pride in his work. #1 for customer satisfaction.

I don't think I have ever heard a review on these.

They offered to send some out for review and that was the last I heard of them.

I just looked at the website. They look unchanged. I'm still not crazy about the aesthetics of that heel but at least it is a unique style. The Leviathan is listed as a square point but it appears to be a spike point.

Please let us know how it shaves.

2/17/15 The heel has been changed and the Gustave model is now called Siren and comes with jimps. Check Portland's site for more info. Razors look very nice... I ordered one.

I really do wish I knew about the change in the stock thickness before I bought mine. I'm not real happy about the two layers of tape to hone it.
