Fantastic restoration by Doc

[kmlavoy]

You really cannot go wrong sending this man a blade. This was a whippeddog restoration. He recommended black horn for the rescale and it looks beautiful. Please excuse my horrendous photos, as they really do not do this justice.

ALSO: the honing job makes an edge so shiny that I can almost use the reflection to shave with. And I bought another razor (the Ehrlick he had for sale) from him, so I can tell that edge was no fluke.

ALSO: you guys all seriously missed out on that Ehrlick that I mentioned above. $65, and I'm betting it's the equal of almost any new razor you care to name for sale for triple the amount. I got it, and I'm not sharing!

Thanks for the kind words.

I actually forgot to "play-doh" this one.

Glad you liked it.

Please let me know how the shaves go.

Ahhh-I get it, missed that in the original post, my bevels are not shiny, they have a beautiful haze.

Congrats on a fine razor. I also had a restore job from Alfredo and for the price the quality is very reasonable, and his edges seem very good.

Doc did a fantastic job with my old 8/8 W&B FBU wedge. Shaves like a dream too.

I'm trying to come up with some sort of smart alack remark, but I can't....

Nice looking razor!

What a STUNNING job! Bravo, Alfredo! Just one question on horn scales: when new they look shiny and smooth, but do they become somehow dull over time? Is a wax recommended? I keep all my razors in Jarrod's silicone-treated sleeves if this does matter. Thanks.

An Ehrlick razor eh? I may have to keep an eye out for one of them. My last name has been mangled to that spelling a time or two so it'll be entertaining to show off if nothing else.
DOc is great to deal with, he's the first person I've ever sent my razors to for honing and his communication, turnaround and above all his edges are exceptional. I'd recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Alfredo is fantastic, I can't wait to get my razors back from him. His service is top-notch

...and his edges seem very good.

And we have a winner for understatement of the year!!!

I had some Fettuccine Alfredo the other week, and I have to admit, it was very good.

I wouldn't worry about treating horn scales with 'kid gloves' I have quite a few from over 100 years ago and they are still shiny.

Thanks so much for the reply, Sir! Exactly what I wanted to hear!
