    Default Scottish Razor Co.

    Afternoon everyone,

    I just came across this brand

    Scottish Razor Co. (The Scottish Razor Co. | Custom made straight razors)


    I have been searching razors for a while as I want to get a new blade in addition to my current 5/8 Boker. I considered getting a 7/8 Theirs issued blade but then came across this. What do you think of it? and which would you recommend

    Please take your time in your response

    Much appreciated gents!

    I just peeked in on the site & at first I thought it was a razor made in Scotland but it is here in Atlanta, GA. His razor's only have a Scottish Terrier's head on them with no makers mark or anything else but since he is starting from home, maybe he will get better in the future as time goes. From his reviews, people seem to be happy so far. Hopefully he will get enough business to have a shop.
    He apparently named his company, which is home based after his dog which has terminal brain cancer (so sad), so he is an animal lover.
    BTW, I am in no way bashing this guy, he's just starting out & is an animal lover & I love my dog too. I am against animal cruelty also. So far his razors look good so we will see how it goes. I'm curious to see if anyone on here buys one of his razors & lets us know how good it is. If I gave anyone the wrong impression, I apologize it was taken wrong & I edited my post to make it clear I am in no way trying to do any harm here.

    Looks like decent razors, for a decent price. We will need more reviews I think...

    Exactly Dave. I know the guy is just starting out but he might get better with time.

    His name is Stephen and he is on Etsy as well. For a fair price, you can assist in every step of the process of your custom "prototype" razor.
    Out comes a custom razor (with possible minor "custom" issues,but he will take care of you) and he gets experiece in crafting.
    For the cost, it's an affordable gamble. Talk to him, he's very pleasant. I have yet to make the leap. I've always come across something else, that puts me off from getting one.

    I favor tried and true German brands. JMPP.

    I mean no offense and apologize if I am wrong, but I am disturbed by the number of first posts by new members that only serve to introduce us to a new vendor or to praise a vendor who incentivizes customers to make posts about their site.

    Yes, I think you have a good point there.

    If it looks like a fish, smells like a fish, then it is probably fishy.
    If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

    I will have to jump in. I have been talking with this user on FB on the SRP page. He asked me about this and i asked if he was a member here. He said yes so i told him to post the question here. He is not associated with the Scottish razor.
