I am a bit out of control with these acquisitions lately...one more on the way at the moment and then I am DONE!
until the next one...lol

I placed an order on Feb 18th and checked in with Scott on April 13th. Anticipating building it this week to have it in my hand 1st / 2nd week of May.
They are behind schedule due to a flood in the building if I remember right.

I just ordered a Hydra in Ivory Acrylic, great to see someone making "production" razors, look forward to seeing how it is.

Very very nice!!!

Looking at the pic in the OP . . . is it just me, or does that notch seem "small"? Could it be the angle of the pic?

Do you mean the barber's notch? It is actually fairly small but is a nice decorative touch. I can get my index finger tip in it nicely, though I think it is much more form than function. When I decided to pull the trigger on this design, I was actually more interested in the square point, as it is just that, in the truest sense of the term. I have a light but clearly defined beard, and that square point is a very useful tool for me in terms of shaping it and keeping the lines as I prefer them.

I will say this much, the fit and finish of the blade is very nice. It is beefy as compared to a hollow grind (as it should be) and shaves wonderfully.

Ordered February 19th. Anticipating delivery some time before the Victoria Day long weekend. Build time is more like 12 weeks.

Ordered in 2/6 waiting..... Everyday I hope to be surprised. He said I was 27th in line a couple of weeks ago.

Denver, did you get notice when it was sent?

It was shipped 2-day last wednesday (4/22), however I did not get it until Monday due to some severe postal incompetence involving 2 missed deliveries when I was home, yet no contact was attempted (postal worker just left the missed delivery slip but never knocked on my door). I should have received it on 4/24/15.
