Hart Steel Razors, New Thread

[JimmyHAD]

Here is my one and only Hart. I also don't care for the look of their standard fare. Very 'vanilla' to my eye. Nothing wrong with them but none of the ambiance of say a Ralf Aust. Anyway, when an SRP logo limited edition was being talked up on the forum and nothing seemed to be getting done ....... the wheels grind slow but exceedingly fine ....... Hart posted this 8/8 on their website. I hated to spend the $ but there was room on the credit card so ........

I don't like the scales and it is not even close to the SRP logo other than the scales are blue. It is a good shaver though and I love big wedges so I'm not sorry I bought it. BTW, when I say I don't like the scales, there is nothing 'wrong' with them. They are straight and would probably survive if you dropped them off a ten story building but they are thick and not artful, described as such for my lack of a better vocabulary.

Nice razor Jim,seems the general feeling is,hart razors are lacking something,they need somebody that knows how to make scales.

I must admit that when I first saw photos of them I was not really too impressed but once I got one in my hand...'nuff said. Yeah, scales could be tweaked a bit. The nice thing is Hart could come out with a new design and presto blamo you could easily swap old scales for new ones.



Um, I never get to use the jedi emote so why not throw it in here

See, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I liked the Hart scales shape, I was just not smitten with the ho-hum wood choices.

I duplicated the dimensions of the original scales as close as possible.

I do not mind the shape. I just find them too thick....Well, was looking at it. What bugs me a little is the toe end. The scales are thin down the length but were the toe is is really think. It just looks weird.
