Then how the heck does one get in the queue? That seems to be my main problem.

That's where the waiting list comes into play. My suggestions is to keep an eye on his site. He always updates the site, he won't sent emails, but he updates the site as to when he will open the list. Once you are on the list and your name comes up, then the actual exchange begins.

I am sure he gets tons of unsolicited emails, but I also know he answers them.

I know is not the perfect answer, but that is the current method and it was the same way when I ordered my first Wolfman, almost two years ago.

You can also sign up for the Newsletter at the bottom of his availability page.

I've signed up for the newsletter with two different emails lol (though I didn't know the website was the primary means of communication). I want to be sure not to miss any announcements regarding the list.

I can't recall wanting a shaving item more than the Wolfman. They are such beautiful razors. When I'm added to the list I can relax - at least a little bit Tongue.

James knows what's best for his business model, and I am sure he reads threads like this one and puts any meaningful suggestions in his tool box.

You got it all wrong, we the public know what's best for someone else's business. You know, because capitalism means you gotta make more faster... Probably best to take on a few apprentices to speed up production, you know because James can supervise them and make it to the same standard.

You know because Simpsons can do it and it's a family business... Not a business owned by a multinational corporation that has a factory and all... I can just email Mark and get whatever I want...

And I don't want to hear from anyone else who disagree with me... Just people who have done it before or agrees with me.

(hope you caught the sarcasm)

The demands on our artisans can be so... Direct.

Yep... big or small, all business lives and dies on the demand of the consumer.

Yes you are correct, because there is no one on the other side fullfilling your need.

Not a single person who's life depends on doing what's best for his/her business. Because we, the consumer, decides what is best for a company that we have no stake in.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

(poster's note: Sorry if I'm sounding a but angry. My profession has a retail component and it's always frustrating when a 'customer' decides (s)he knows how to run my business better than I. And the 'wisdom' that these types of customers feel that they need to impart to my team is always self-serving for the patient but makes absolutely no sense to anyone who actually does the work day in and day out.)

If enough customers are complaining about the same problem in your business, believe me, you have a problem. Telling customers to not complain about that problem, only makes you, as the business owner, more ignorant of the problem you have. The customer may, or may not, know how to fix that problem in providing a suggestion, but they are absolutely right in voicing the problem in the first place.

Suppose for a minute, that James had an evil twin brother that produced razors in exactly the same style, with exactly the same quality as James. Let's call it 'Werewolf Razors'. Let's say Werewolf figured out how to produce his razors with no wait list, no matter how many customers came to him, and at $10 cheaper. He would put good brother James out of business, all because he knew how to solve a problem James didn't.

Telling people to shut up and deal with it, might shut them up, but it might just put good brother James out of business when someone as good, or better, than James can come along with an answer to their problem. People complain and offer suggestions because they care about the business or the product the business is selling. But they will only put up with a problem in the business so long before they either stop being potential customers, or a 'Werewolf Razors' comes along to fix their problem for them.

Len That's not the case with Wolfman. Some of the people "complaining" are just bitter. I understand you are a OneBlade fan, but come on. Who splitting hairs here?
