To be clear, the Hedgehog they made was listed as normal; Stanislav made sure to tell me that it was first-come basis for buying it.  Not sure if they do private listings via eBay, but this certainly wasn't that. I just thought it was pretty cool they changed-up their planned production to make a one-off I asked about, then made the effort to contact me directly based on a conversation almost a month old.


The guys at Stork are pretty cool to deal with but sometimes you just have to be patient. They do really good work. I just ordered a titanium “Propeller” shaving brush handle from them which is absolutely beautiful. It’s a very cool looking Rubberset 400 replica done in CNC titanium.

Oh ok, yes that does make it clearer. That's terrific service for a company.

If you had to state it as a probability, what are the chances James opens a Google form for titanium builds within, say, 6 months? Just looking for opinions from those who have a feel for things, obviously.

75%
My number is based on ZERO facts Lol. Probably more like wishful thinking.

I'd say chances are between slim and none. James seems to have enough on his plate with razor orders from Sept 9 being fulfilled as we speak.

An interesting observation....based on the apparent results of some of the recent Wolfman for sale ads here and elsewhere, it seems that the introduction of the new ordering system (resulting in a wider available of Wolfman razors) as well as the “Polished-Basic” finish option is causing some folks selling their mirror polished razors to not be able to fully recoup their cost on the secondary market. That historically has never happened with Wolfman razors, at least not that I recall ever seeing until now.

Sellers were actually able to make a nice profit if they had bought their Wolfman razor prior to June 2019 when only the Mirror finished was available. The prices went up significantly for the Mirror finish hence the profit when selling on the BST.

By the way I have the basic polished and had the mirror finish. There are minor differences in the shine vs the mirror finish, but I find them hard to detect. No way I would pay the high up-charge for the mirror finish.
