Received the razor today and it looks even more stunning than in the pictures. I am definitely going to have to take this baby out for a spin this evening. The blade restoration is amazing. Russell took just the right approach with the eagle side sacrificing an absolutely perfect finish for maintaining the most integrity in the eagle. In reality, the slight imperfections surrounding the eagle are just that, slight imperfections that give the blade character. The scales are beautiful; that horn contrasted with the white micarta wedge is just the right touch. The grain in the horn is subtle but amazing. The scales combined with the blade will make this a favorite in my collection for years and years.
