Thread: HART Razor

I haven't. But I'm hoping at some point that they or someone representing them that has strong business acumen, excellent communication skills and a level head will join SRP much like Ardennes Coticule has, The Well Shaved Gentleman, the outstanding soap vendors and the boutique razor vendors have. IMO open dialogue directly with the demographic you're trying to attract would be a good move in the long run. Maybe it's a bit risky if such a vendor ends up having to defend their product rather than let the product evolve well and improve, but that's where the acumen, communication and cool and level head come in. For what it's worth, being an armchair razor maker if it were me, I wouldn't budge a bit in my price because those who would be watching my product with interest if the price was lowered would probably never think the price would be low enough (human nature); but I certainly would open communication with my demographic and modify my product in ways that would appeal to them being as smart and creative as possible to keep such changes as cost effective as possible.

I have measured my razor.

• Spine = 0.189"
• Width average = 0.765"

The angle thus (without tape) = 14.28"

I personally do not know about the angle causing the breakdown of the edge but really and truly, I don't care. If it is breaking down Hart will get some correspondence from me and I will get the ball rolling and see what comes of it.

I will not use 2 or 3 or 4 layers of tape on the razor to hone it. One is fine with me and really is a good thing to do for the razor in the long run but any more than that, not going to happen!

Thanks guys,
Richard
