Thread: Hart Custom

To the op:
It appears you may be questioning the edge because you just might not know what a quality edge is. This is not uncommon when trying to evaluate what is lacking in your shave.

You can send it to me, I will shave with it & get back with you. If the edge is lacking, I will put a proper edge on it. Just cover the return shipping.

Actually, it does. Just take a moment to analyse the threads about them, and most buyers will tell you that they bought them because they were made in America, by Americans. Nothing wrong with that, mind you. Many good things come out of America. Only, I see a wee problem when the fact who made a product where becomes the only feature to set this product apart. Which, in my limited experience, is the case with Hart razors.

And just to clarify, I was talking about "custom" razors, not "production". Dovo is the only company left who makes large quantities of razors. Ralf Aust is a one man operation - which makes Hart a production company by comparison. However, the whole "custom" point is somewhat moot when it comes to Hart. Because custom means "made specially for individual customers", which is, well, not quite the case. Hart razors are to custom razors what tailored garments are to bespoke ones.

If you had of put it that way in the first place it might have been far better than the bursque way you did in your initial post by your Murica effect reference.

Just had to google Murrica. I'll tell ya, I learn something every day on SRP.

Murrica is a slang term used to degrade southern Americans as unintelligent.

Damn you ask a question about the sharpness of a razor and the next thing a whole country is insulted. Looks like someone is having bad day!
I bought the HART razor cause I wanted my first custom razor also I had an opportunity to shave with one and I thought it was pretty good.

I like my Hart. The factory edge was not good. It honed up very nice. Maybe the scales could have been better but they do their job. I like the quarter grind and weight. To each his own.

I looked at them as I have been looking for my first str8.

Nothing caught my eye but won't rule them out in the future.

So Hart razors are made for "mericans" does that mean RA and Revisors are going to be recalled because of outlandish performance reviews like Volkswagons emissions lies.

Only joking.

Hasstar, I hope you enjoy using your Hart.

Incidentally, people keep saying the exact same thing about Gold Dollar razors. Only, a GD will cost US$2.26, ie 1/100th of a Hart razor.
