I would like to see a review containing an actual shave by someone like Geofatboy, I'm interested to see peoples initial thoughts as they use it for the first time.
That would be me of course. Just kidding, although I seem to be trying a new razor every week right now. I think what most people here are interested in is how it shaves. In a pass around we could see how the material develops over time. Everyone takes a picture. Then we send it to @Dr Terror to see if he can polish the shit out of it to make it look better than new.I do have a very limited number of razors I can send for marketing purposes. If there is someone that lots of people really wish to hear from and that person is willing also, I think it can be arranged. As Scott said in his review, due to the nature of the material I prefer to send a fresh razor for review so they are a finite resource.
I agree, and some of our guys are very eloquent in there descriptions of new razor use.I LOVE the look of the Hone razor - stunning! I like the idea of a pass-around too. I think, depending on performance, it would generate a lot of sales!
I think that goes without saying ...... Dr Terror has polish for blood, (or uses blood for polish, unconfirmed rumor).Then we send it to @Dr Terror to see if he can polish the shit out of it to make it look better than new.
Hi
It's only my opinion but if a pass around is possible it would seem appropriate for that to start with the guy that started this thread and got everyone else interested!

Start a thread in the 'Lending pool' section of the forum. Have a look at some recent pass arounds to see how they are normally done. Shipping is paid for by the person who ships the razor. We don't mind that. A small price to pay. If you don't want the hassle of organising this, I'll volunteer and do it for you. Just PM me..Well I'm game. How does a pass around usually work here? I had a couple of thoughts, let me know if you think they are fair.
Whoever does get to see the razor first, would they please share the out of the box appearance, before it has been used?
Could we start a thread topic for the pass around so its easy to find all the thoughts in one place?
Please no polishing with blood or other abrasive polishing, some metal polishes are really aggressive and do knock the edge of the finish - (i'm compiling a list of good/bad at the moment). Just Soapy water a quick rub with a cloth and a dry is fine, if it even needs it. Interesting side note, one of the lovely properties of brass is that it is oligodynamic, which I have heard is one of the reasons it was used for door handle and push plates in hospitals for a long time so it's naturally always clean, as it were.
I will make up some foam pieces to hold the razor and make it easier to re-package and share - this is not how it usually ships as I normally try to make the packaging 100% recyclable, just something to note.
How does the shipping between people usually get paid for? Reading above, I was thinking I might be able to fund one of the bigger jumps to help and get more involvement if there is enough interest. I think there is a good community here so it would be a shame for some to miss out for that reason.
How long to people usually keep the razor for, and what usually happens at the end?
Let me know how you would like to structure it and I'll put something together to share.
