Thread: Poll - Gauging Interest In An SRP Logo Razor

My Hart Steel razor also cost significantly over $200.

We have a long way to go before this is anything but speculation. A package deal is generally discounted by volume so between $200 and $300 USD may be feasible when all is said and done. I think the administration of SRP will be watching this poll with interest. As far as the razor being identical to that on the logo, that is my preference but we'll have to see what is doable from a cost analysis ..... if the proposal ever comes to fruition at all. I've got my fingers crossed.

It's really pretty elementary here. If you engage a large outfit like Dovo or TI they will probably want a minimum order and the number will be such the price will have to be low which limits the choice to something most may not want. On the other hand to have a razor like in the logo means a custom job and few will want to participate because of the price. I'm sure no matter the price there will always be takers but that may leave a bad taste in the mouths of members. Maybe a solution would be two razors, a high end and low end. This could go many ways or no way. We'll see.

Just so you all know, at this point there has been no serious discussion among the staff. The first step is your indication of participation here.

While I don't disagree with this concept, in practice I could see this splitting the numbers and therefore the chances of filling a minimum order would be put in jeopardy. I guess we'll have to see what the final vote looks like and go from there....

While there are a substantial number who will settle for .... or maybe prefer .... a standard round or square point, there is already a round point TI SRP razor and whatever the Livi limited was. I've got the TI but not the Livi so I don't know. I think it would really be cool to have the mirror image of the razor in the SRP logo.

My guess is many of those who voted the other way would get the logo razor if that is what it ends up being. TBH I'm hoping Hart gets the contract. I don't have one and there is nothing they make that 'calls to me' so an SRP limited by Hart would give me the motivation to add one to my rotation. Variety is the spice of life.

I would love a large smiling blade! But that sounds expensive, and as a 22 year old college student, a high cost razor would be prohibitive. So I would definitely prefer an affordable blade.

I'd love a razor like that in the logo but, any SRP branded would be great.

I only brake for 8/8 or larger...
