I've been using the Pendragon Bronze razor handles for several weeks now, and they are terrific. :001_wub: I am starting a pass around on the most popular one, the patinaed handle.
It's called the Pendragon because it is decorated with Celtic Knots, and Dragon Scales. Pendragon may be translated as "Chief Dragon." And I'm sure we all know that Uther Pendragon was the legendary father to King Arthur.
This will be the handle ONLY and does not include the Old Style gold-plated head in the photo. It's mine and you can't have it. :sneaky2:
I'm restricting the first pass around to ten people. I ask that you not keep the razor for longer than one week, and you write a review...good or bad. Sorry, first pass around is CONUS only. I will try and include OUTUS for the subsequent pass arounds. We may free up a second handle for that at some point.
I have two requests to try it already, so if those people sign up, I will move them up to 1 and 2.
I'm having trouble letting go of this handle. :bored:
:scooter:I'm leaving town for a week on business, back Friday, January 31. So, Monday, February 3, I will send it to the first person. I think I'll use a USPS flat rate box. It is your responsibility to pass it along to the next person on the list that will be posted.
Here's my thoughts so far on this special handle: It is a gorgeous piece of art by renowned sculptor Deran Wright. It is sculptural bronze. The weight is 89.3 grams, and it is almost exactly 4 inches long. Experimentally, it works with Gillette heads, EJ89 heads, iKon heads, Joris (so assuming Fatip). It does not work with Cadet/Razorock. I tried that today and it was very tight so I did not force it in. I'll check with Deran, I assume the handle is drilled after casting, so perhaps we can do one for a Cadet.
This handle is so darned good, I'm having trouble using anything else. Grateful that I have the chrome handle to see me through (same length, 119 grams).
I love the balance, the weight, and the grippyness. If you love grip, this will absolutely spoil you forever. I just cannot go back to my Weber Classic and my iKon OSS. I'll probably PIF them sometime in the future when I have my very own patinaed handle.
Finally, there is an aspect to fine bronze, first demonstrated to me by Mr. Wright, many years ago, when I commissioned a one of a kind bronze tiger for my then boss in Japan, Mr. Fujisaki. The tiger was named Fujisaki the Tiger. When the bronze was stroked, it would sing. Singing bronze.
This handle...IMHO, transmits sound better than any other handle I have used.
So, first ten get to try it. If you don't make the cut, I will put you on the list for the second go around. If demand is great enough, I will simply extend the pass around indefinitely.
If you wish to purchase one, price is $95 shipped. Pay through PayPal to pendragonrazor@gmail.com. Right now, fulfillment is 6-8 weeks, as each is cast as ordered, but we may order a small number and so have stock on about 5. Run is limited to 150. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist.
Nope, no one can post to this thread...so PM me, Chadao, and I will assemble a list. When it's done, I will PM the participants. The passaround list will simply be your name here. When you are ready to pass it to the next person, PM them and get their mailing address. That way I am not posting all your mailing addresses in public.
Thank you. I look forward to your opinions.
You can PM me or send questions to pendragonrazor@gmail.com. Deran sees these emails, too.
We do have a chrome version available as well, weighing in at a hefty 119 grams. $100. Alex2363 described it, in this photo with a Joris Rhodium plated head, as "pimped out." I like that. :thumbup1:
