Thread: Announcing The SRP Logo Limited Edition Straight Razor

The guy on the other end tells me (at least that's what my half-asleep french-Canadian brain understood) that my SRP LE Ranger is ready... what? I didn't order a pick-up. You must have the wrong guy... but he's got the right name and right phone number, this must be a prank. Then he repeats it, "didn't you order an SRP LE razor?". Wait, did you say razor!? That's when the caffeine kicked-in all at once and the 10-year-old boy on Christmas morning woke up.

I didn't ask for the number, just to keep the surprise until I open my early Christmas present, but I ordered mid-January.

Big thanks to Mr Williams and everyone who made this possible. I can't wait to shave with this beauty!

Awesome
Cannot wait to see your LE Ranger.

Gentlemen, the Blue Ranger #111 quickly made its way home. Of course, I'll be taking this one out for a spin around the block tonight.





Cheers.

Very nice!!! Color me envious! ;-)

Spine width. Even on three pin razors the width of the spine will limit the travel through the scales .

Well . . . not always. I own this beautiful Wade & Butcher wedge that was restored and rescaled by a skilled member of SRP. The material used for the scales is rather flexible so that if you're not careful, what you see in the image below will happen (and yes -- I learned this lesson the hard way).

Hey Morty looks like you should build an extension like they do on garages with big cars.

#109 arrived in Canada today. Order placed on December 28th. Looking forward to shaving with it tomorrow.

How was the shave?

Just curious about how some of you have gotten the best edge from this razor. For myself, the edge felt a little crispy. I rehoned it using a Jnat, and it shaved very well, and smoothed the edge a little, but was not as smooth as I liked. Then I said, what the heck, and tried 20 laps on the cro2 (which I normally don't do, as I like shaving straight off the hone), and like magic, it shaved like a demon. Smooth AND sharp. Next time around, I'll experiment with the Zulu to see what kind of edge it puts on this razor. All in all I have to say this razor is a great shaver once you figure out how to get the edge you like.

Hi I might have missed it but been waiting to make sure I really take to Straight Shaving. Are all 200 gone yet?
