@p.b Thanks for the write up and feedback, nicely structured thoughts.
I look forward to seeing the razor, and making a bit of a demo on cleaning to address the patina aspect, I know its not going to be everyone's cup of tea in the long run. (And I hope I have a solution that might suit some of your other thoughts soon...) I believe the plan is then to auction the razor, and I want the proceeds to go to The Shaving Rooms chosen charity.
This has been a really fun experience for me. As the first razor for the brand it caries a lot of expectation and thank you for receiving it so openly. I've really enjoyed the feedback and conversation. Being small I hope I can react to the comments in a meaningful way, and long may it continue.
