Should be here Monday!!!
I have the Hart 7/8 Polished Square Point in my sights and I am considering the Pearlex, White or Maple scales. Classicshaving.com gives you a choice when you order; however, several are on back order.
Does anyone have these scales and what do you think? Any pics?
I've got a 6/8 in the white resin and I think it looks pretty good. (No pics, sorry.)Quote:

I really think I am going to sell some of my razors so that I can get a Hart....I want one really bad!!!
Did you get your new razor? I'm interested to see what you think of it.Quote:

It was my first Square Point so that required a little extra attention.
The only thing that didn't quite meet up to my expectations was the scales. They just seem like they needed a little bit more refinement. They are cheap to replace, so I think I might try some of the other scales they offer.
Yama86,
it shaves great, i agree with you on the scales, I sent it out to get a set of carbon fiber scales made for it
I tried to order straight from Hart but I was automatically sent to Classic Shaving. I hope they don't mess up the hand honeing done by Hart.Quote:

Mine came from Classic Shave also and yes it is shave ready.Quote:

There's a neat little article on the Hart Steel website under their "News" tab. It has a link to a nice article by Chris Moss where he says:Quote:

So you don't need to worry that Classic Shaving will damage the honing that Hart performs.
