that can get a little time consuming since it's all mixed in as 1...if everyone ships as priority mail (use pirateship.com to save some $$ on shipping costs), everyone should get the package in 2-3 days, tops, once it ships.

Seems fairer in order of sign up. Priority shipping is 2 or 3 days in the US anywhere.....Also since it looks like the First in line is the East coast doing it geographically would move me up the list and not down. So I am stating what I feel is fair.....

Does anybody know what handles will be available for this razor?

agreed.

not sure. this would be a good question for ezlovan to chime in on...or if the first person on the list receives the pass around razors before Rod can see this, perhaps they can post some photos.

Will do!

The razors shipped to Hdad this morning. Each of the two razors has a leather case. The standard head is on the Austin Handle, and the Hyper-Aggressive head is on the Fort Worth handle (or was it the Dallas? It's one of those two). You can tell which base plate you are using by the engraving on the bottom. HA and ST will begin the serial numbers. I've put a laminated set of instructions for sending it on to the next person to prevent damage to the razors and cases. Please keep the box that is inside the flat rate bubble mailer to use when you send it on. All you'll need to do is reseal the box and put it inside a new USPS priority mail bubble mailer, which are free at any post office. Please do not under any circumstances ship it in anything but that box inside the priority bubble mailer. There is no automatic insurance for a first class package, and in my experience with literally 10s of thousands of packages shipped, priority mail is far more reliable than first class mail.

Rod, my experience is NOT all Post Office carry the bubble mailer. Mine does but hour south where I work, none do. Post Offices have to request them to keep them in stock. Just a heads up for those on the list to check in advance to acquire one or see to it the person sending gets an extra to put inside for you perhaps.

Will the box fit in the Priority Mail small box? That is what I use the majority of the time when shipping pass around razors and stuff I have sold or traded.

It won't fit in a small flat rate. There are two leather cases, each containing a razor, inside the box.

Understood. Everyone should have plenty of time to check with their post office and make arrangements to get one before it arrives to them though.
