If you want the razor, can afford the razor then buy the razor and enjoy using it. You're going to be dead a long time...
Exactly Paul and anyway, who wants to be the richest man in the graveyard...Right on brother, life is short, enjoy it while you can, you never know when it's your time to check out!

I hope all are sold quickly. I hope they fund a future £300 titanium anodized in blue or purple. Mild++ would be good. One can always hope.
Hi @Aaron1983 I understand that it is indeed a high price, and as mentioned it was something I debated. I came to a few conclusions. When I looked at the cost to buy the raw stock, buy tools to machine a limited number, prototype to validate, and then create the final quantity - that initial exploration alone would likely have ruled the project out for most brands. I felt that as a small manufacturer perhaps that was exactly the reason to take such a project on, because I enjoy it and I hoped others would too, and because it is something that would otherwise not exist.
I knew that the cost could be interpreted multiple different ways and as @Kypros Christodoulides and @Blademonkey have also highlighted and - which I would like to address - I don't want to abandon my customer base. Nor do I want to push the price of my existing razors up. This isn't a push into a new territory for Hone. Hence why I this is a one off and why there are only 22. It is not sustainable for Hone to pursue limited editions such as this, and it is not what I want to do long term. Indeed for the next versions I have been looking at scaling the batch quantity and working hard on the design to bring the price down (and it will be a more aggressive version).
But I do feel that what a small manufacturer can provide is something bespoke and unique, which I truly believe this is. Larger brands and manufacturers sometimes struggle in the broader context to provide the personalised experience and a level of customer service that I hope Hone stands out for, and helps support craft and manufacturing and which I will continue to offer on this and my other razors.
Where did you see the 15t for sale @Riggs ?@Hone
Hi Andrew,
I have just noticed that the 15t set now is £500.
Have you shipped any of them yet or the project is not finished. I noticed it says the brush is not ready so I am assuming the set is not ready. Would be good to get an update.
Goos luck with future projects as well.
Riggs.
