I have Wapis on the way again...
I recently purchased 50 Wapis, and am awaiting their arrival.
I'm going to start taking pre orders for these on my site, and I am including some honing services with every Wapi ordered.

I think it's an awesome deal.


I also added honing vouchers to my site.
I need to raise some serious cash to finish school, so I'm offering these vouchers for $15 each, basically $5 off of full honing.
You can use them for a full service or a touch up.

And there's a very interesting twist to the vouchers...

I think you'll all be pleasantly surprised...

Mike, I was curious, did you mean to put $55 in the paragraph I copied below from your website or is the price $25? It does say $55 be the item description. Thanks



I need money for school, so I'm running a special, Starting now and running until further notice, When you purchase a Wapi, it comes with 2 free honing certificates. In essence you are buying 2 touch ups, and getting a shave ready Wapi for $25 plus shipping. The certificates will be good for 2 free touchups on any razor(s) of your choice. It doesn't have to be the Wapis.

I mean for $55 you get a Wapi, and I'm including 2 certificates for honing, that would normally be valued at $30

If you subtract the value of the honing, you'll see that you are getting a really good deal.

Mike,
Nice idea. Buy the razor at your regular price and get a few extra light honings in the deal.

I use Forrest blades on my table saw. They sell you a superior carbide blade and it comes with a certificate that gives you one or two free sharpenings down the road. Nice idea.

Thanks Mike,
I'm with you now, unfortunately, I just purchased a wapi from wojtec76 on ebay but I will definitely keep you in mind. I still haven't been totally infected with RAD....yet.

Thanks again for the clarification.

Well, and anybody who gets honing vouchers between now and July 31st, (including the ones that come with the Wapis) is entered into a special give away I'm doing. So there are some definite benefits that go along with it all.

The Wapis have arrived!
It's too late to get any in the mail today, However barring any unforseen delays, I expect to have all of my pre-orders shipped on Monday.

Also remember all Wapi orders and honing orders placed before July 31st will be entered in my drawing...

I don't sell hones, although if interested, I could point you in the right direction.
All of my razors come pre honed, and shave ready.

Free shipping seems to be the question of the day...
I've had several inquiries, so I'm running with it.
I have a free shipping option on my site, and I will be honoring it for Wapis, however you give up the honing vouchers in the exchange.
$55 will get you a Wapi shipped anywhere in the continental US. You will still be entered to win one of my personal razors (details are on my site), but you will not get the 2 honing vouchers.
So those of you who don't want or need honing can get a bit of a deal.

If you still want the honing vouchers, select and pay for the shipping option of your choice, and the vouchers will automatically be included.
