Thread: Portland Razor update ...

Certainly Scott's health is foremost! I custom ordered my razor going on 2.5 months ago and was 200 in que at the time. I am not worried about them hurrying production as I am Scott's well being. They will get to them and one day I will receive my custom beauty I placed my order for.

Wishing Scott and the team at PRC the best! God Bless and get well!

Cancer treatment is expensive. I have purchased and received two custom razors from PRC. Now that I know the reason for the recent delays, I'll be placing an order for my third custom. If I receive the razor by Christmas of 2015 I'll be happy. It's the least I can do to help out a friend.

Yep, I ordered mine a little over 3 months ago and of course I'm anxious, but ... this is a good reminder that there are things in this world way more important than getting a new razor. That's where our thoughts should be.

And I'm still confident that good things will come to all of us who are waiting.

Wow. Sorry to hear that he is having medical issues. My thoughts are with him and his loved ones.

As a quick update, my PRC razor arrived today. Total wait time was slightly less than 15 weeks.

It's got a nice feel and balance, though I haven't shaved with it yet. At first look, I confess that I'm slightly disappointed in the craftsmanship -- the final polish of the blade is a bit uneven, and I don't feel the custom scales came out quite the way Scott had initially offered. But I'll probably feel better about it after I use the thing.

Montanan I'm sure Scott would want you to be a happy and satisfied customer. You should contact PRC and give Scott the opportunity to correct any issues with your razor.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what to do. The issues I have are not major, but they're sufficient to keep me from ordering another PRC razor, or recommending the company ... and under normal circumstances I'd certainly send off an e-mail. But the circumstances at PRC are of course not normal right now, and I think I'd feel kind of heartless if I sent that e-mail.

And to be honest, I'm not sure I want to send my order back into another 15-week vortex ...

We should all remember, myself included, this thread was started wishing Scott well on his fight against cancer.

Indeed, I feel we all wish him well, as we would anyone else.
It does seem the uncertain backlog issues predate his health problems, however. Just noting this as it was brought up by several here.

1. Unique, one of a kind. These are limited production from a small shop.

2. Charlie Lewis comes to mind

Why? Just the truth in my opinion.

I to wish Scott well. I will stop posting here. I misread the title as Portland Razor update.
