Thread: Hart Custom

I didn't know SRD dealt in Hart I thought Classic was sole distributer.

I have one Hart and it needed work when I got it.

Did not know SRD testifies to razors they do not sell as being shave ready????? But hey, I don't get out much. I will say Hart has a following. I have just yet to see anything from them I like.

I would say the proof is in the pudding as the saying goes. Try it, if it feels buttery smooth and shaves off the hair, it is shave ready. If it pulls and brings tears to your eyes, then it needs a honing!

Yea it does make a difference who you got it from, maybe they already dulled the blade, maybe they lied to you, so yea it does, as for their blades straight from the maker , mouth or miss, but I didn't know SRD sold them ,,, tc

My guess is the OP meant to type SRP ? I could be wrong though, I was wrong once before.

Mine was not shave ready when I got it, but it was close. It just needed a quick touch up.

Hi to all!
Just for the record. This Hart razor was not close to being shave ready. First, I tried one pass with it and it pulled whiskers pretty bad. Then I sent it to a hornmiester and he took some pictures of the blade under a scope. Now I can recognize a good shave ready from a bad one. I should have sent it back to where I bought it but the problems was taken care of .
Thanks guys for your time and input.

That's exactly what I offered you early in the thread...

“I got it from Classic Shaving. My experience they are pretty straight up. Also, this came from Hart. Where the entire package was wrapped. Don’t get me wrong, there are humans who make these razors , and humans sometimes make mistakes. The true proof is to try a pass with it."
