Thread: Announcing The SRP Logo Limited Edition Straight Razor

Ah, but that is not it... I love customs and will probably pull the trigger on this before it is gone. I think my first really good brush was part of the shavemac group buy with the blonde horn 5 or 6 years back. I have to say that my hat is off to anybody who can produce the beautiful, functional piece of art that I see as well as anybody who can persuade a craftsman to make a limited number of razors available for purchase. I have no doubt that it was a logistical headache now just as it was back then to put this together.

Having said that, is Robert Williams the fellow that Josh had bought his monsters from years ago? I seem to recall the very long thread leading up to the Christmas delivery of a (12/8?) razor that was amazing. (Boy, I hope this is the right forum... it was years ago and my memory sucks... I was pretty certain that it was Joel until I thought a little more...)

Oh, on a final note... I am reminded that years ago (presumably when SRP had many fewer members) there was a Mastro Levi group buy that was limited to less than 50 razors and there had to be a draw as to which members could get in on the piece. I seem to recall wavering at the time about putting my name on the list. However, the funds simply were not there and I have had a pang of regret since. It is great to see there are enough available that it is not a matter of a draw and that most people who really wanted one have had a fair chance. It is kind for RW to agree to expand his production to accommodate so many of us who would likely not order a custom otherwise.

There are about 100 reserved at present IIRC. No payment in necessary to reserve one. When your place in line comes up RW will notify you. For ordering instructions see the original post.

PM sent. I'm sure it will be worth the wait, besides I'm going to have to make a new display case to make room for this one!

You may not wait too long... I just had a call from RW stating mine is ready for shipping!

As soon as this was came out.

Dolf,

Was that the bill Ellis razor? Huge blade, and looked a bit like a whale?
That was 2006 I think.

Bill Ellis left this forum around that time.

I'm in! Just sent the PM to Robert yesterday and got a quick reply. Now the waiting starts. Strong drink might be called for at this point.

Really?

I sent a pm and got no reply....

I hate to bother him, but perhaps I better follow up?

I suspect he's fairly overwhelmed by PMs and manufacturing. I saw an estimate somewhere that the razors would come along at about six per week. Let's be patient and not turn this into a bad experience for Mr. Williams.
