Bill Ellis razor in one-piece olivewood

[vior]

My custom straight made by Bill Ellis just arrived today, and I am completely speechless!

Here are some more pictures taken by Bill. Notice the beautiful engraving on the spine and the yellow gemstone.

The scales are one-piece olivewood place on a 6/8" ATS-34 stainless steel blade.

Wow, that is one beautiful razor!

The most I've ever spent on a straight was $120, but maybe one day in the future I will have to consider an Ellis custom...

I'm drooling all over my keyboard. Great looking blade and the scales are awesome. Ellis envy is setting in.

The spine is engraved with a running wheat pattern. I'll try to take some more pictures, as it really is stunning.

I believe I like Bill's new stuff better than his old school stuff!

Very nice. What kind of grind does it have?

Very nice. What kind of grind does it have?

It's a 1/4 hollow.

I recently got one of Bills razors and even though it is 1/4 grind it is not a heavy razor like most 1/4's that I have. I was surprised just how light it is. The back is 3/16" if I remember correctly so the heft is way down.

Nice razor you got there. It is almost a shame to shave with it, isn't it?


Take Care,
Richard
