I've been waiting for this for a while, and it finally got here! And what a beauty it is.
It's a 15/16 spanish point with a 1/4 grind, monkey tail and olive wood scales, made per my request. The blade is incredibly thick, with a heft that has to be felt to be believed. How he took my half-hazard ramblings and made this work of art is simply astounding.
Of course, even the most gorgeous razor in the world is worthless if you can't shave with it, and we all know the proof is in the shave. I have several razors to compare to, some great looking, some sow's ears, but they all can shave well, so how does this one compare?
In a word........ AWSOME!
The heavens parted, angels were singing, and naked virgins prostrated themselves at my feet (ok, well maybe not this part so much, but my wife did give her nod of approval).
It was absolutely the smoothest shave I've had in a while. I'm having to re-define BBS for what I got from this razor.
Wondering what it looks like?
Well, here is the photo Jeness sent me right before he mailed it:
Here's my poor attempt at trying to capture what this razor looks like, but I'm not a photographer and all I have is a crappy cell phone. These just don't do it justice. That's just oil on the blade, btw.
Sorry for the rambling post, but just had to share.
