RazoRock Vintage Slant Explorer Program

Hi Gents,

Here are the details...

The Razor head is CNC milled out of 60-61 T6 aluminum. The handle is turned out of 60-61 T6 aluminum. The finish will be a black anodize.

Because of the nature of a slant and how the DE blade gets torqued, once the handle is screwed down, we felt it best to leave the side razor blade tabs exposed to allow for micro blade adjustments, similar to the Merkur slant head and the Vintage Bakelite slant. This is a razor intended for the expert DE shaver.

The handle is 90mm in length and 14mm diameter at the butt. The butt end diameter is 2mm wider than the shaft diameter.

This razor is fabricated at one of the premier machine shops in Ontario, Canada, by Canadians. Later I may be able to show you how state-of-the-art their facility is; it's very impressive!

Here is where it gets interesting...

RazoRock is a company started as a hobby, but now seems to be growing into a "real" business. That said, we don't ever want to lose sight of the fact that our success is largely due to our amazing clients, many who have supported us from the beginning. You guys have told us what you want and we have tried our best (and continue to try our best), to bring you what you want at a very fair price.

We are not experts on everything. I love wet shaving and I'm trying to gain knowledge daily.

This razor project is no different, so here is what I'm offering...

The first 150 razors will be sold at near cost. We are calling this the "RazoRock Vintage Slant Explorer Program".

The price will be $49.99 and will include a tuck of 5 blades.

I am asking for two things back:

1) I want the first 150 razors purchased by those that have a lot of DE shaving experience, preferably you have used a slant or two, and you know how to handle more aggressive shavers. This is a fairly aggressive razor, probably 4 out or 5 in terms of aggression (but very smooth!). It's not intended to be someone's first or entry level razor. If you own the Bakelite Slant, this is even better.

2) The reason for #1 is because I want feedback from every single person that buy the first 150 razors, that's why I am selling the razor at near cost. After you have used the razor half a dozen times, I want an email with your opinion of the razor. I want you to tell me what you like and what you don't, how it shaved for you, etc. So basically, this razor comes with a bit of homework.

This is just the beginning of a massive RAZOROCK DE razor project, this was done for YOU, our RAZOROCK clients, many who I now consider friends. I want this be done 'right', the clients need to be involved.

Anyway, there you have it.

Note: only the first 150 razors will be sold at $49.99, the second and future batches will be sold at regular price, which I have not determined yet. The price will be fair, trust me.

The first batch should be ready in 4-5 weeks.

If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

warm regards,

Joseph

Ca va plus être du copinage qu'autre chose
