Exclusive: A hands-on, first look at The Blackland razor

Members of another forum that backed for an early bird this time are concerned that they may miss out on the next early bird options. So let me just say that those of you who backed me early in this first campaign deserve priority for the next one and I'll make sure you get it. At this point I'm not sure there's an elegant way to do it but I have an idea that should work. On Kickstarter, for any given goal level you can pledge as much over the price as you want, but not below. So if one of you gets left out of the early bird, I can just have you back at a lower level and choose the early bird price manually and email me letting me know. I'd probably leave that option open for you guys for about a week. I'll reach out to Kickstarter in search of a more proper way to do it, but rest assured that no more matter what you'll be taken care of.

 

Good luck with your new plans. I really like the idea of another made in the USA razor. I don't think your pricing is too far out of line with the other all SS razors, but you will obviously sell more if you can lower the price.

 

I want one!

 

Unless Mr @ShaneS says otherwise I guess you'll have to wait until Aug 1

 

Well, I guess that's that, good luck with it! Thanks for the information.

 

Hey everyone! Been a busy few weeks. Getting everything ready(again). Pricing will now be $125 shipped CONUS for early bird razors and $145 for regular backers. For a full list of all the rewards options and pricing, check out the Kickstarter section of the website in my signature. The campaign will go live on August 1st at 10am EST.

Btw, if any of you were early bird backers on the last campaign and didn't get my message via Kickstarter, let me know.

 

Wow, grats on being able to bring down the cost. I know the first batch of early bird deals- at the higher price - got snatched up pretty quickly so I can only assume these ones will go even quicker

Also, August 1 is a great timing as some very stoic people are exiting NoBuyJuly that day

 

Shane, I'm looking forward to back your project again. I was on the original early bird and I'm ready for it again.

 

This place must be pretty damn dull if nobody is buying anything!

 

I made no commitment for the month of July, I'm buying. I can't wait to get my Stainless version!

 

Nice review, always good to see that craftsmanship is alive and well.

 

Alright guys we go live tomorrow at 10am EST! We're launching with a goal of $15k and a 30 day campaign. There are 50 early bird razors available at $125. Hope to have your support tomorrow!

Side note: found out a cool company call The 1906 Gents is launching a beautiful line of hand-turned badger brushes made from exotic woods. Coincidentally, they also go live on Kickstarter tomorrow so you might check them out while you're there.

Thanks everyone!

 

Best of luck Shane - it's one heck of a razor!

 

We're an hour into this thing and sitting at 26% funded! Thanks to all of you who have backed so far!

 

Congrats. I hope you hit your goal.

 

Wow, things are moving fast! Best of luck!!

Things are going really well so far! Only 5 early birds left.
