Portland Razor update ...
Those of you who have purchased or ordered razors from PRC may want to check the company's blog this morning. The synopsis is that Scott has been diagnosed with testicular cancer, and will be undergoing chemo for the next several weeks. He assures everyone that the company isn't going anywhere, and that the rest of the PRC team will keep making razors during his absence.
Best wishes to Scott and all of the PRC folks.

Saw this about 5 minutes ago . . . he seems to think chances are good for a positive outcome, so lets hope he is right. The delays in the build queue were already posted in a previous blog entry, so I guess those of us waiting for our blades will be waiting a while longer.
Scott was talking about 90 days of intense treatment . . . so lets pray for some good news by September.

Perhaps the collective positive thoughts and prayers from Scott's supporters here will help him move through this crisis.

That's crazy. I was just up at their shop early last month. Scott struck me as a great guy. Sending some positive thoughts his way.

I too noticed the top jimps did not extend enough toward the tang and why I did a custom with PRC to get them to extend them. Still in que I guess to be made.

Montanan, I respect your opinion. You are a paying customer and have the right to be happy with your purchase. Contact PRC and place the ball in their court. Hopefully PRC will address your concerns and keep you as a satisfied customer.

Kind of funny....I actually like the way the top jimps work, but I have a totally funky grip for my ATG passes....and they are just perfect for me in that regard! Random....just works for me. I can only say that mine came in fantastic shape with honey horn scales and the new design. I have kind of funny usage scenarios...I use my smaller hollows during my daily shaves during the work week and my heavier, larger blades on the weekends when I space my shaves out by an additional 1/2 day.

15 weeks seems to be the current standard, as my delivery notice came last week. IT left Portland for San Francisco, and is now on it's way from SF to (hopefully) Toronto. I hope to see it by the end of the week, but should be no later than next week.
