I know I'm overlooking the obvious here but... how does one go about placing an order for a custom razor? I plan to hold off on my RAD for a little while and put aside some cash for a custom. I was hoping a friendly razorsmith or previous buyer can walk me through the process.

I'm looking for info on wait lists, means of communication and expressing interest/details, pre-payment, etc. I think all of the guys here do great work - the hardest part will be to decide which to pick!

My one example to give is Mastro Livi; I found his website and browsed around a bit. I see many of the beautiful razors that are in the razor club shown on the site. Are more than one of the same razor normally made and I can choose to order one or are these just on display and I chose from whatever he makes and puts up for sale? I ask because I don't see an option to purchase, it simply lists a price.

Maybe I'm missing something, who knows, it's late and the Heat lost tonight!
