I deleted my previous post. I thought you lived in Portland OR. I suggested a visit to PRC. I see it's Portland MI. Visiting PRC may not be an option.

I will have to check out Ralph Aust razors as well the ones that I see on SRD sell pretty fast, I wish I could stop by PRC and check out what they do and see the process its just a little ways away from me lol.

You should find good responses in the links provided earlier. American made by young, energetic craftspeople. Should be worth the wait.

After reading the threads it seems that everyone has a positive experience with PRC even his responses to what people think were classy and respectful ... to me PRC is at the top of my list but I want to check out all the options and go from there so I may take a few days and look around before I pull the trigger as well.

I will happily second this.

I've been in contact with Scott for a couple of weeks now for a Damascus custom.

Comms have been nothing short than stellar.

If you want to visit the maker I believe Tim Zowada is up in your neck of the woods. Won't get too much better than he makes them Tc

I have heard of Tim yet I forgot all about him, he does beautiful work. I think he is up in the U.P. but that would be a great idea to visit him if he would be up for that !

I think he was just referring to a custom razor Maker i.e. Tim not specifically PRC....

I love my PRC razor, nice heavy blade , good fitment and finish. Gives a satisfying shave Everytime

Indeed. Tim is not affiliated with Portland Razors as far as I know.

I was referring to Tim from Tim Zowada knifes here in michigan, from the comment that tcrideshd had posted about visiting a razor makers shop.

If you are willing to wait a week I will be stopping at PRC next Thursday. I can ask any questions you may have and take some pics as well.
