Tradere Razors- handle sale now over- Open Comb Razor Preview and Information

[Icebear]

...
Initially, I was pretty annoyed. Then, I stopped before opening my mouth and reflected a moment and thought that all in all things have really been going rather well and getting upset with the engraver will not help accomplish the end objective. So, I bit my tongue, smiled, and said let's just get it done right. What a difference some maturity makes; a few decades ago steam would have been coming out of my ears and poor language out of my mouth. ....

Hello Richard,

that's the right attitude, you still need this guy to do a proper job after and a week of delay doesn't make a difference in this project. In case of engraving orders putting down what needs to be done in writing with exact fool proof instruction is crucial though.
I assume, everyone who has pre-ordered one of the Tradere razors will not go unshaved because of this . Just take it easy.

We are all psyched though... more aggressive than the Feather and less than the R41 New sound very promising to me, as I have both and they are too mild or too aggressive respectively. Could be bulls eye....

Man, I would happily have paid a slightly decreased price for a "Lucinda" head!

Too bad you couldn't hang onto them.

That plate deserves a spot in your company museum!

Yes ... it will definitely become a collector's item.

Look at what happened with the "Upside-Down Jenny" postage stamp, and numismatic errors like double-strikes.

[dpm802]

still wondering if there will be a Straight-bar head ?

Or a premium even......

Maybe I can request one Lucinda and one Lola and get a designer pair.

Richard:

What a great place to arrive at in life. I envy you.

How the heck does one get Lucinda out of tradere.? Well there's bound to be bumps in the road on first runs. You handled the situation correctly. Now we just need to wait a little bit more.

They were going to use the Lucida font to write the word Tradere. So they had "Lucida" on their minds. Then they spelled it wrong.

My wife has a friend named Lucinda.

Let's not forget price either, our initial retail ($150) is more than 1/3rd less than the Pils offering ($239, 190 Euros) and includes a real case as opposed to a cardboard box. Here are a few pictures of some the production head parts and the whole razor with the case.

I've been following the progress of this and it's very exciting, but I really don't think the "case" is the draw here. The 2nd-3rd generation run of these beauties will probably......or should get a proper case, since you've stated that these are the perfect shipping size.

At any rate, since neither vendor has this listed, yet, on their sites and all we have is a back and forth of the handle owners waiting on heads......

As a newbie or anyone who may stumble upon this sweet offering, my question is:

What is the most practical way of "pre-ordering" the complete package???

Cheers.

Hi Richard,
this razor looks really gorgeous, I'm quite excited about it...
How does it compare to the Gillette New in terms of aggressiveness and performance?
As well as that will every single razor have its unique serial number or is that only for the first batch?
Greetings from Ireland!

Cursed Engravers! Man I am anxious to get this razor!

My wife has a friend named Lucinda.

I don't care what mine says on it, it will forever be Lucinda and all my other razors will be envious because they are just "things"

This is a great idea! I don't generally name my razors, but calling this one Lucinda just rocks.

"Well, just call me Lucy"...

I just picked up the first 30 heads and will be getting another batch on Thursday and the balance of the production run by next Tuesday.

I will start sending PayPal invoices in the order random.org spits your name out of the proverbial hat and when I actually have your razor to ship. There is no race to pay the invoice; it will not affect what serial number you get. Random.org has already randomized the list of all those who have placed their orders.

I will start the invoicing later tonight; we have a previously set dinner engagement.

The engraving and build is just what I was hoping for, as was the shave I just had with mine- #3.

Here is peek of the bottom plate of #23, just picked at random. Sorry, none of them say Lucinda.

[Sqratch]

Awesome! They look amazing. Let's hope random.org likes me on this pick. Can't wait to get mine.

Thanks for the update Richard.

[turtle]

Looks like I will be staying up late waiting for my invoice.

Want to get it here right away.

Can't wait....

[Gordy2]

Great! They look really nice! Tks for the info.

[Scott0079]

Sweet! Goodbye RAD...for now.
