I don’t have an issue, but it is however fairly light as you can imagine. They always seem to have decent discounts, but beware of shipping, over $100 and it’s cheaper international shipping. They are also spot on with value of the goods, which attracts the dreaded duty fees. The classic shaving soaps are great too and cheap. I liked my nano so much I got two of the original solid handle ones. One of them is for my lad.

Wasn't the case for me with the duty fees I'm afraid, I bought an OREN from them and got hit full whack with those.I don’t have an issue, but it is however fairly light as you can imagine.

Have to agree with this but do you mean 6S Wayne?

Exactly the same here. £33 on one order £37 on the other ! I expected it, there you go.

I completely misread what you said and thought you were saying you didn’t have any fees when you got yours. God, Christmas isn’t even here yet and I’m already flailing

I had both and for me the 6C took the prize on smoothness and the 6S although stainless missed a trick on the finish but both are solid razors and well worth the price pal.

You know the proper balance point for a proper razor, but it looks like an old sci-fi movie prop IMO. But I'm a vintage guy, I'm not your target audience.Hone Type 15... But I am biased...
(It is mild, smooth and *I hope* has some good aesthetics)
Hehe, worth a try. It will be vintage one dayYou know the proper balance point for a proper razor, but it looks like an old sci-fi movie prop IMO. But I'm a vintage guy, I'm not your target audience.
There are loads of great suggestions in this thread, and almost no bad choices.EDIT: it is at least brass....

I had a Hone, the Black one, it was nice as I remember. Could I ask a question please? As an Artisan creating razors how do the sales hold up once the initial hype rush is over? I have always wanted to know if razors keep selling steadily afterwards. Cheers.Hone Type 15... But I am biased

Great question! I have debated making a thread to explain a bit behind the scenes, because it's not plain sailing. And I've even got an unpublished section on my site that is more like a blog that goes into some of the difficulties, but so far I haven't felt that the content is right to make it live. But to avoid hijacking this thread the short answer is it does hold up, just. (Edit: This is relative, it doesn't yet hold up well enough to be my only source of income, I still work a full time job)
But... And perhaps this is particular to me, I have personally struggled with the 'need' to use social media, and paid-for advertising to gain an audience. I have tested these tools, and they do work to drive more sales, but it doesn't feel good somehow, and it is a monster you have to continuously feed. There is a lot of noise on these platforms and pressure to be doing something new, and I have struggled with some other brands stealing text word-for-word off my site that I took time crafting, making claims about their products that I know to be false, and also selling mass-produced generic razors (that you can buy on a mass manufacture online marketplace for $3-4 per unit) they have had re-branded and marked up 400%. These things are tough as a small brand who really does design their own stuff from scratch. And spends hours with the manufacturer to make something how I want it, rather than how it is easiest... Sorry got a little off topic.
