Thread: PRC Hydra

Guys --

I like all of you. Many of you have been quite helpful to me as I traveled the path back to SR shaving over the last two years. Some have been more than helpful

I hope for that reason none of you will take offense, but I feel a need to speak up. Portland Razor Company, with which I have NO relationship, even as a customer, is owned by a young entrepreneur who has an interest in producing quality, heavy grind razors at a reasonable price. I like that! There's a thread here from a year ago where he expresses that and takes some feedback and advice on his product, lots of which he has implemented. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...nded-read.html.

But now the guy has testicular cancer and is undergoing chemo, while still making razors. I don't know about you, but if I found out I had cancer in my balls, I'm not sure how my time would be spent, other than praying and spending all my energy on fighting the disease. I say all of this merely to suggest that I don't know how far we need to go on a thread, which is now 6 pages, picking at scabs with his product INSTEAD of sending him an email if we own one we're not happy with or sending suggestions if you're a fellow artisan. That's the pre-internet way of dealing with quality (or preference) concerns, and it is still the "polite" and classy way, where I come from....and I consider most of you to be classy guys.

I'm not sure why this is under my skin, but let's give the folks at PRC a break, eh?!? Especially Scott (he is a fellow SRP member by the way).

If you are offended by this rant, PM me, but don't read my response if you're a sensitive person.
