Just received my Rigarazor from Sergej. It is a classic 9/8 replica of an old Sheffield wedge with dark horn scales and brass bullseye washers. It arrived yesterday packaged in a beautiful display/travel box. Tried it out last night and was very pleased with the thin bevel and keen shaving edge. It feels great in my hand and was very easy to strop. The tungsten steel seems very similar to the fine Sheffield carbon steel of old and understand from others that it will keep a fine edge. The...
Received my 7/8 barbers notch Damascus steel with bronze on spine razor. Jacob is amazing in his creativity. His workmanship is exceptional and he is easy to work with. Great feel and balance and shaves smooth.

On the subject of...
Got this today, after much looking aroud for references on the internets for it.... very hard to find one, aside from amazon reviews.
Well, having just finished using this after 3 days of stubble growth, I can honestly state that I am very pleased with it.
It's quite a light little thing (just around the 30g mark - almost 20g less than my other shavette). However, this means that it is quite a manoeuvrable blade. Construction is not flashy, it's not going to turn heads with it's...
