It looks like it would make a very nice razor, but I've never even read anything that acknowledges the razor.
Blue scales, the SRP logo, long tang, full hollow, smiling blade, barber's notch.
I would order one and show it off if I had the money. Heck, I would make one and show if it off if I were in a position to make custom razors, but alas I am not, which is why I figured I'd ask.
:gaah:
Now that is just plain a good idea!
Of course, you'd need to get permission first.
Well I would HOPE Lynne wouldn't mind...
I've read that an SRP razor was made a long time ago (limited). Perhaps this could be done again??Quote:

"AN" SRP razor was made, not "THE" SRP razor that we see on the logo. I'm referring to a razor that is exactly like the one on the logo in every way.
That's going to be a little small... :idea:Quote:

Found it. It was Brown handled and showed at the beginning - Straight Razor Place Razor

The OP is saying that he would like to see a razor that looks exactly like the blue scaled razor in the SRP logo at the upper left corner of the SRP forum page. That razor looks nothing like the limited edition TI SRP razor.Quote:

I understand the OP is asking if one is or can be made and I agree, I would purchase one myself.
Yeah that's the SRP razor I was referring to when I said "AN" SRP razor was made.
I am not a very big fan of it visually though, but I think one with the specifications I mentioned in the original post (as seen in the logo in the top left corner) would be phenomenal!
"AN" SRP razor was made a long time ago; did not know that the razor on the homepage was mentioned.Quote:

P.s.: sorry for my lack of "PROPER" English....:roflmao
Why doesn't someone email lynn and see if he would mind?
I asked this same question not too long ago and was also answered with there was a TI done a while ago. I've seen the TI, nice and if I was a member back then I probably would have tried to get one but I really like the look of the one in the logo. I'm sure it would be quite expensive to have the blades custom made but if we found a lot of old blanks or razors with a similiar blade shape I'm sure with the members here it would be fairly easy to find some willing to make scales of acylic or g10 with a silver inlay. Well if it ever does get past the imagination stage I want to be number 2 on the list behind Lynn.
There are plenty of people who make very nice custom razors. If I had the money I would have contacted one of them about it by now.

Hey I'm in on that one, I'd like to see that. What about that guy, forgot his name, harner or something that was making razor blades to your own spec's last year?
The blade Alex made for Jimbo is probably the closest thing I have seen to the "SRP Razor"
Alex Jacques Custom 7/8 - Straight Razor Place Forums
Well considering I started this thread, I think it goes without saying that I'm on board! :DQuote:

Very nice blade you got there. Is that one of those scaleless, western/Japanese fusions that seem to be popping up? Most important how does she shave? If she works half as good as she looks I'd expect whiskers to retract at the mere sight of that mighty blade!
Sorry; MY mistake.Quote:

What a gorgeous razor! I love aggressive looking razors with beautiful curves!Quote:

It's going to cost more to do something like Alex did with the detail work on the spine and such, as well as the material of the scales. Del1r1um's design is closer to the actual logo's overall look, but like I said, elegance vs. price. How much do the people of SRP want to spend? How large should the run of these razors be? How faithful should the design be to image in the logo? If you look closely at the design in the logo, the proportions are slightly off (not by much, but they are), which makes it look cool, but would weight it in a strange manner. What is more important the look or the feel? These and others, are questions that would need to be agreed upon by those interested in purchasing. The blade is a representation of the forum, and as such, should represent what those on the forum feel makes a good blade. That's a difficult thing as such, because everyone has their own tastes.
Personally, I would love to see that logo with a damascus blade. I dont know if I would use the razor, or just display it, but the look of damascus is incomparable in my books.
I think that's a great idea if the site could get a sponsor or their hands on some quality blanks.
If my memory is correct about a year and a half ago this came up. Seems it died on the vine. Still, if Lynn authorizes a small run of razors that look darned close to the logo (in 7/8 or 8/8) sign me up too!
Unless people are planning to prepay i seriously doubt there will be any production run of this razor
best bet would be to contact one of the custom makers here (or ask Lynn if he can suggest a maker)
get an estimate and hope to get approval for a one off
As I mentioned earlier, this is exactly what I would do given the funds haha!Quote:

It could be recreated, yes, but it would cost more than most guys would want to pay I'd assume.
i am also interested in buying one if there will be a limited edition SRP razor which will look like the SRP logo.
juko
I'll take one, and pre-pay if needed. Sign me up! :deal:
Looks like it will work well with blue anodised anuminium scales.
The full hollow will be very difficult without any shoulder though.
Not at all. There are many brands of shoulderless full hollow razors out there, one of the most famous being the Dovo Bismarck.Quote:

True! The Bismarck is a good example, and a very nice razor it seems...Wish I had one...damn this RAD!Quote:
