Thread: Portland Razor Co.

Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone here owns razors made by this young company I found during a Google search.

Here is their website Portland Razor Co. | Straight Razors and Strops handmade in Portland, OR

There are several threads about this already. If you do a forum search you will find them.

Certainly do and they make great quality razors and are fairly economical for a nice straight as compared to other US artisan razor makers.

In fact, most razors with even some personal added touches will never hardly run over $300 and if you don't need any bells or whistles and like a 6/8 std. razor you will never end up paying over $160 for the std. and $210 for the artisan 7/8 and like $240 for the 8/8 artisan I believe.

Plus, Scott and Hunter are a class act that are the brains and workers of that business!

I have two so far and I am sure more in the future from them.

Thanks for the reply.

I agree, most if not all US artisan razor makers charge way too much.

Cheers mates!

Next trip to portlandia the Liberal Mecca of the Northwest, I'm going to ask about a tour of their shop, might buy a razor just to help Oregon Business, have heard or read nothing but good of those Gent's.

I have a PRC Hydra. Very happy with it. Hope to soon add a Siren.

I've just ordered the exact same item, I'd also indicated to Hunter that I'd like it blued, although now I've seen yours I'm wondering if I made the right choice?

Just to keep things in perspective price wise Portland is not an artisanal manufacture. They are a factory made razor. Maybe a smaller factory but that is what they are.

So, if you are comparing them to someone else it's TI or Dovo as an example not Zowada.

So true, hit the nail on the head. Tc

Not sure I agree because they make a lot of custom one of a kinds so while they do have a std. lineup, they too can do anything that comes from your mind. They are a 3 person shop so I hardly think of them as a manufacturer in terms of what I see as a manufacturer. But hey, we can get caught up in the semantics or we can just enjoy a nice razor my friends!
