It was a flash in the pan. Much harder to machine and will make a few in the future.  Bronze is the standard offering.  

cigarman if you decide it’s not for you let me know I’ll buy it.

No pics on the Lambda Razor site.
I'd like to see it.

Either way, it’s a nice shaver.


Wolfman prices Bronze more than SS.
According to online sites, Lambda Bronze C630 (higher corrosion resistance) is harder to machine than Wolfman C954.

It's possible that SS mirror polishing is more expensive. Or the artisan wants to make a fair price for himself. 
Anyway, he has high demand and limited supply, so it is quickly sold out.

I also don’t think James uses marine Bronze in the Wolfman.   Theo seemed pretty sure there wouldn’t be a lot of runs in SS.

If he is only running half the #'s in SS that will automatically drive the price up... Has nothing to do with material...

I don't really see what the point is of limited runs except maybe get a premium for the ones produced.
Test the market maybe.
Wait a while and do another limited run, seems to make people really excited for the product because they are limited. 
Maybe try a limited run of 20 or 30 Titanium ones for about $450 - 500, 
Guys would eat it up.

Hi Keith,

I agree on all points.  This is one razor where I feel the weight helps.  It’s mild but efficient.  It’s just one I have to shave slowly with due to its shave feel.  None the less, I can’t get a BBS even if I try not to, I wonder how it would shave for me with no blade :-)

Normally, one sees folks get excited over exotic materials like bronze, copper, titanium etc.

First time I am seeing so much excitement over a SS razor.
