When do you know?
Mods, feel free to move this somewhere else.
I love razors. I build scales, hone, and do general restorations.
Most of what I do is just for me, I advertise and do some work locally and have great results. I've restored and sold around 20 razors. Never for profit, just enough so that I don't take a loss. Most razors are kept original, some have custom handmade wood scales.
I like working locally, it gives me the option of fixing any problems that may occour immediately so as to preserve a good relationship with anyone that I deal with.
My question is this, when does one know when to 'branch out'. I'd like to sell some of the things that I build here. Call it insecurity, call it lack of confidence, but we here are a community of aficionados. We appreciate perfection and have a love for creativity. I'd hate to end up in a situation where someone was disappointed or feeling mislead in any work/services that I offered. Seems to be a 'sticky' business, and especially difficult to manage online.
And now, let the discussion begin. (Please pull no punches)Through the mud and the blood, to the green fields beyond.
