Shaved With The SRP Logo LE Straight Razor Prototype # 000
Got my Robert Williams SRP Logo prototype #000 and kicked the tires, drove it around the block. I got a close, comfortable and smooth BBS 2 pass shave with it. It is a very nice handling razor. I am so glad that the logo, once Robert sized and printed it out, called for a 6/8 instead of a meat chopper. This is a razor that I will put in a frequent rotation. I like the big 'uns once in awhile but find myself picking up the 5 and 6/8 more often than not.
It is a beautiful design. The curves just flow. Robert did a great job of bringing Michael C's design to life. Robert said that he honed the razor with one layer of electrical tape and it was truly shave ready for this member's whiskers. The proportion, heel to scales, is perfect for comfortable stropping, not too close, not too far. The thumb notch and the sweep of the spine make manipulating the blade easy.
I happen to be a fan of smiling blades. If you've never shaved with one as curved as this one be assured that it is easy and nothing to be intimidated by. I think it is more forgiving in terms of safety than a straight profile. Anyhow, here is my copy. I put it in show & tell so it wouldn't be buried in the announcement thread. For those who have ordered one, you'll be a happy shaver when your number comes up.

That really is a nice looking razor, kinda sexy. Darn it, and I just resolved within myselft to not buy anymore razors now that I have seven, all shave ready but one, and that one will be honed by this weekend. Now I find myself looking at this razor, and I'm on the fence ...

If you don't already have a smiler, DO IT! They really are friendlier to shave with, especially if your face has hollows here and there. Plus, of course, you'll always have a good one in the house when the other six are out for honing.

I'm really looking forward to the user group that forms around these, and to discussions of hones and honing that we can all have around the exact same razor."These aren't the droids you're looking for." "These aren't the droids we're looking for." "He can go about his business." "You can go about your business."

Sweet. Could you tell us what type of grind the blade has? For example 1/4,1/2 or 3/4 hollow.
