Stirling Soap 316 Stainless Steel Razor

Just wanted to give an update. Tracking for the package Marhos24 sent me is still showing in transit. I'm sure everyone else is experiencing the same thing with USPS. This package is one of three that I have delayed. Once it arrives I will update the thread.

I hope everyone is staying safe and that their holiday season is going well.

I can't wait to give this razor a try, but I guess I will have too!

Shoot, I didn't even think to check. Figured it had been delivered long ago! Sorry about that! Yeah I still have black Friday orders sitting somewhere haha.

same here.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with outstanding shipping from Black Friday. I was worried about a few things.

I'm only missing 1 package, I think, at the moment.

Sorry everyone, life comes at us fast sometimes and resets our priorities.  This site was one of the things that could not be attended to, and I had no time for any hobbies.  I am sorry for not looking at the message, or updating on here sooner.  I am glad that the passaround has continued, and I look forward to reading more reviews.

Looks like the package just left Detroit, hopefully will be smooth sailing from here.

I saw that. I'm just hoping that USPS doesn't sit on it when it arrives at the Phx distro center. One of our delayed packages has been sitting there since Dec 2nd.

ezlovan any updates on when you expect these to be available for purchase?

gwsmallwood I have two thirds of the handles and all of the top caps in hand. I'm just waiting on the remainder of the handles and all of the base plates to make it back from the polisher.

Every time I've said a date, I've been wrong, so I'm just going to say they are still coming. We're likely just going to release them all at once (including the original batch that was actually made in China - we'll grind the "Made in the USA" etching off of them) and be done with them. I love these razors, but until I can afford my own CNC machine and polishing and etching machines, I'm out of the razor game. By the time it's all said and done, we'll likely lose money on them. Took too long to get them finished and to market, and the market is more crowded today than ever. We were originally going to have them listed in the 200-215 range, but now I don't even think we'll sell them for $150. Likely more around $125, which will at least allow me to break even on my machining, polishing, etching, and packaging costs. The development costs won't ever be recouped unless the day comes that I can get my own machines and make them in house.

Right now I just want to be done with them so I can focus on other things.
