Still not a lot to report. I have a few NOS Herder blades and scales coming. No idea what condition they are actually in, or how much final grinding has been done. I know that most of these have at least been heat treated and tempered. Meh. They were cheap. I will get around to fixing them up some day and putting up a listing. I might get some more, if that works out. I think I can sell them pretty cheap, and put some Solingen steel in low budget shavers' hands, that will for all practical purposes be brand new razors.

Still working on getting my horn scale sets and my camel bone slabs from India. The bone I think will ship in a few days. My horn guy just received the razor I sent a month ago, and I will see if he is capable of making a decent set of scales for it. The first sample was totally unsatisfactory in every way but the price was nice so I figured maybe with a little encouragement and direction, I would give him a chance to supply me. Anyway, soon I will be able to put some nice shoes on all those unbranded and unscaled P81 blades. I honestly think they will sell fairly well. Now, if I could get my horn guy to make scales for me out of the bone, that would be even better.

Sales have been very slow these last two weeks for some reason. I may have to drop my prices back down a bit. I had to raise them a little to slow down the orders and now I have to find just the right balance to give me a few orders but not a lot of orders every week.

No progress on the twin grinder. Been very busy fitting out the boat and trading stocks and ETFs. I will maybe start trading the Micro E-Mini Futures, not sure yet. Anyway been really really busy and I really really need to get some more razors honed and ready to ship. I am thinking about doing all of the 666 razors and running a special on them. Same with the 66 model. I want to clear the shelves a bit, and end up with just the rebranded and rescaled P81 razors, the stock P81s, and maybe the Herders if I can get them in quantity and they are worth prepping for sale. Soon, I PROMISE, I will have some razor production going in-house. I definitely want to keep the P81 sales alive because it really is not a bad razor for a beginner on a tight budget but do I really need to have 4 or 5 models of GD? I don't think so. The P81 is the easiest to work with and the best bang for the buck, so that's the one I want to concentrate on, out of the Gold Dollars.

I still haven't had a strop-making day since July. Well, nobody has been asking for them. I don't have any made, well except a couple, so I haven't listed them on fleabay. Since I haven't listed them on fleabay, no sales. If there are no sales, why make them? LOL honestly I have just been too busy. The problem with being retired is you don't get days off anymore.

So anyway, watch the site, and watch my ebay listings, cause when I have a bunch more honed I will probably be dropping the prices a couple of bucks. I will announce here when I have anything fancier to sell.
