Thread: What is your definition of a custom razor?

Thank God I never got bit by this bug, I've always been attracted to old Sheffields and the like. I have had the pleasure of honing hundreds of custom razors and understand their allure, most are beautiful and very creative.

So 32T: If you were to contact one of the artisan razor makers (PRC included). Send a hand drawn picture with blade dimensions, scale materials, etc, agree on an final design and price. Would you consider your razor a custom or an off the shelf artisanal razor?

Custom made means made to order, nothing else. I started this thread away from any mention of PRC to avoid my thoughts on their business model.
