Thread: HART Razor

mparker. I've been watching this thread as others have, with baited breath. The idea of a U.S. based start up company stepping in to the arena and making straight razors is very exciting to me. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that you bought one and I've appreciated your review since I regard your experience and thoughts here very highly and always have (if you're waiting for a "but", there isn't one).

The only thing I would say is that the Hart Steel razor you've purchased and tried is yielding the results you report. It's merely my humble opinion here, but I think it's too soon for any of us to regard all Hart Steel razors as behaving exactly like yours has for you. I know of one longtime member that should be posting here soon that has found the Hart Steel razor he purchased to be pleasing and to give a great shave; he's happy with his purchase from my understanding.

If every company died strictly by the merit of their first product not being absolutely fabulous in all ways I don't know if the word "company" would even appear in our lexicon.

My intent here is not to offend or to imply that you're making broad generalities regarding Hart Steel Razors rather than giving your opinion about the razor you purchased, I simply want to share my concern that this product and company are greener then green and whether they ultimately provide a product that the public wants and values will hopefully be seen over time rather than today.
