Thread: SRP logo razor

I'm in, but only if it is <$300. I am not in any position to spend more as SWMBO might amputate my left arm if I do! And with new baby and putting in a new A/C unit things are kinda tight, I still have a little play money but anything over 3 Ben Franklins is taboo and even $300 will decimate my flexible money! So for me probably a production razor... Maybe #2 if we can get it under the mark!

At sixgun's request a Poll has been started here with some parameters. It is a public poll so that you are 'putting your money where your mouth is'. If there is enough 'action' this may actually happen. So cast your vote, multiple choice is allowed to better gauge who would prefer what.

FYI, there is new one available at ruprazor.com, a 6/8, olive wood scales, made by TI, and reasonably priced. It looks like the one in the pic posted earlier in this thread.

I've got #113 of the TI run.

I believe part of the poll should be max $ someone would be willing to spend in $50 increments. This would help to answer the questions on custom, semi custom & so on as the amount would dictate how "fancy" a razor would end up. A full on custom like the logo would take more time to produce, thus be more expensive. The big companies may only be interested in using their blanks only. Lots of variables here, but I have a feeling participation would be dictated by cost.

There are only 10 questions allowed in the poll. I figured hundred dollar increments would be close enough. This is a longshot at best IMHO. Takes a lot of $ to get something like this going and the sponsor will have to front the money. Unless there is enough interest for members to pay in advance ..... and there are a lot of takers . We'll see.

Advance payment would have to be mandatory. I've seen too many situations (not just razors) where it wasn't and months later when the product is ready people's financial situation has changed and someone is left holding the bag. Also forget about highly customized pieces. The job would fall to a very small outfit or custom maker and the price would be very high and few would be interested.

I apologize for the English. It seems to me that in this subject there is a conversation on the razor which is drawn on a forum logo. So why to think out new design??????? It is thought already up.

Your English is fine. From what I am reading this thread is just a discussion as to the possibility of a group buy and no decisions have been made to proceed with a buy yet. When and if this becomes a group buy the SRP staff will select a person to organize the buy. I am reading that at least one person has already contacted a vendor to manufacture the razor. SRP has not approved of anyone contacting any vendor as far as I know. This can only proceed w/ SRP's approval so please relax and let this group buy mature before the person(s) coordinating this, or any group buy contacts any vendors. It is not fair to the vendors to put the cart before the horse. The results may be less than stellar.
