Talked to RW yesterday and half of the 200 are spoken for so don't sleep.

Any word on how many are produced at this point?

He is in the midst of the first 4. It is going to take some time for all orders to be filled. He has to each of them one at a time in addition to his regular custom orders. He estimates 3 to 4 on a good week .... once he gets rolling good.

I'm envious of everyone who was able to get on the list. It's a bit of art with function.

LOL, The first report was 3-5 a week and I was hoping that he started a few weeks back.

Oh well, I hope he takes his time (especially when he gets to mine) and I have it in time for my Birthday...

Thanks for the updated!

He had to wait a bit until he got an idea of how many orders he would get before he ordered the steel and the G-10 for the scales. He doesn't keep that much on hand unless he has a need for it. He has the material now so they'll be rolling out as he does them. Since they are going to be typical I imagine the process will speed up, without sacrificing quality, as he gets in the swing of making the same thing over and over.

Robert posted yesterday that he is finishing up his other custom orders this week and will begin the SRP razors next week. These SRP razors are going to be very special for all of us who ordered. Just my 2 cents but I think we all need to allow Robert to work his magic without bother from us as to when they will be finished. Many members here understand that producing a razor at the level of quality that Mr. Williams maintains is not an easy task and we have been most fortunate that a craftsman at Robert's level was willing to undertake building our special razor and at a very, very fair price.

I have been wavering for two days now. I had promised myself that the large Heckles that I bought a few years ago would be the last substantial investment in straights. Oh, I would be allowed $20 here and $50 there. Last month I managed to convince myself that a Tamahagane razor was not really a straight. Now I am trying to find a way to convince myself that a custom would not really break the rule either... Very nice looking razor.

I suppose that I could remove a few of the razors from my collection that I would no longer use after this arrived in order to finance it and call it even?

looks realy nice in the latest pictures i'm glad i orderd one .. jimmy i don't supose you could find out what mm electricaltape rob used .. i have 0.15mm. i'd like the same mm that he uses for future touch ups . cheers gary
