gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 2 days agofigure out how to best exploit it before floating the idea of a sub-exclusive short-blade cleaver out of Ulrik’s new 9/8 blanks
I’m currently working with Ulrik on razor that will allow me to test the Damascus steel he uses. As usual, he is just a pleasure to deal with. (This will be my fifth Koraat 🙄)

I’ve been having some less pleasant dealings with Ulrik recently. I was one of the first customers for his bigger 9/8 blanks. He accepted an order for a custom blade with engravings, then made it without and wanted me to buy it. Only after I asked about the engraving, he said that he couldn’t do that any more because his engraver quit. I asked whether he’d be looking for a new one, but haven’t gotten an answer. He’s been ghosting me for about two months now. Very disappointing

Wow! That may be the first unprofessional thing about him I’ve heard. I guess he figures you’re at stalemate.

Same. Very disappointing after all the great interactions
