Doubt it'll be 8/8 considering that 6/8 won over 7/8 in the unofficial preference poll, and more importantly because Lynn said it'd (probably) be 7/8 :)Quote:

I'm in too, if there's still time/room. As this sounds like a once in a lifetime chance to me.
Just a reminder: There are still SRP Special Edition TI razors available from Classic Shaving. Ray, may he rest in peace, did a great job putting these together for us and they're great shavers.
yes, and that may be my next purchase, but they don't seem to be going anywhere where as the Maestro group buy is very limited...
especially since his regular prices for the same razor would be much higher...
If I don't get in on the group buy, I'll save and order one at regular price... :shrug: It'll just take longer to get there.
I didn't mean to suggest you buy a SRP instead of a Maestro. I simply meant them as a possible alternative for those who do not get a Maestro. As you said they're not going anywhere, and that has always bothered me. I always felt that we (members at that time) gave Ray the impression that they would sell out immediately. I feel I did my part, I bought 3. That said, I would rather have a Maestro too, especially for less than his regular price.Quote:

I believe Classic shaving has about 15 of them left.....then they are gone......
Better get em while you can, I might get another one and put it away for a rainy day :hmmm:
Mentioning Ray do not forget his LEQuote:

Do you mean the Founders Razor? Another awesome razor. It honors Rays founding of CS. It has bone scales with a blade similar to the Bergischer Lowe. The one I have is a awesome shaver.Quote:

With the Maestro only doing 30 razors, it appears that this will have to be a "drawing in order to buy" as opposed to the original idea of a group buy. But if you think about it, I guess the drawing winners will constitute a group.:thinking:Quote:

sid...,
We're all collected here, standing on pins and needles, hoping to learn how the few razors will be divided among the throng of those yarning to shave. I think your chance is probably as good as any. Until more is learned, the pins and needles prick away.
Bon chance
WOW! 20+ pages for only 30 razors. that is crazy. i think after reading quite a few posts, i am the only one that does not want one. i think he is an incredible artist, just not my cup of tea. however i am enjoying the insanity of who will or will not get one. this is turning into a great little soap opera at the SRP!!!:w
vgod
it really does depend on the price here. someone whispered $500 to me (£250 ish). I cant get to that sort of money just now... :cry:
I'll have to wait and see....
FWIW, I think in the same post that Lynn mentioned the group size of 30 he also said he was trying to keep it under $300.Quote:

If I were you, I'd buy Kleenex now; I'm me and I have my supply of the nose daubers and tear stanchers on hand.
cheers and good luck,
I wouldn't jump to any conclusions yet...
The price may be prohibitive for some, and there are a lot of repeat posters here.
I would guess that there are probably 90 members who want in?
of those 90 or so, how many have the funds ready? right there you could probably knock out 20-25?
of those remaining how many can really justify the purchase, or get SWMBO to approve?
I think with all the factors involved it may increase the odds to 1/3 or 1/2?
that's not the best odds, but hey I'll take it.
It's better than looking at 1 in 300 or 1 in 500.
IM ready......Willing......and Able...
I didnt need that other kidney anyway:tu
I decided to play it safe and get divorced.....now she can't tell me what I can do with my money. So I'm ready! :D

I bought the girlfriend jewelry with the only money I made off razors witht eh understanding that she never bitches or she loses the jewelry since they paid for the jewelry. SO I am safe at least till she gets bored of the jewelry.
I need to increase my debt load so my wife can't afford to divorce me
:roflmao
500$ is impinging on damascus territory for a Livi's, a similar razor to the one described here runs for around 385$Quote:

maybe $450. :shrug:
and yes the natives are getting restless...
We want this thing done before anymore people try to edge in... There's only 30 available, and our odds get worse by the hour it seems.
as for rope, don't worry about that, we wouldn't want to tempt fate and have some idiot try to cut rope with a Livi razor...

An update from the moderator and/or administrator would be helpful here (the mob is getting a bit unruly). I haven't checked on where in its plunge the dollar currently finds itself, but I know that we're going in the direction of the Peso, not the Euro. Thus the quicker we can get this done the better for those who will be chosen to take advantage of the group buy.
Maybe we can ameliorate the cost and still get something with the Mastro's name on it by selecting the re-grinds and maybe something with a pretty purple handle. (See pot, stir pot....;) )
I know I don't want a regrind, I think Lynn has most of the details in hand though, so just relax and tell me who I have to bribe to get my name on the list...Quote:

If a large number of members suddenly disappear from this site, it would be a total coincidence if they are also among the people interested in this group buy, and it will in no way be related to moderator privilege abuse.

Guys,
Im affraid I must respectfuly withdraw myself from this offer.
My car decided that yesterday would be a fantatstic time to go wrong, so unfortunatley my pennies I had saved for a razor will have to go on that.
(:OT water pump and something on the ignition system )
Just thought I would be kind and improve everyones odds
:D
Sorry to hear that but a kind gesture!Quote:
