The razor just came in the mail today after a two month wait which is fine by me as I was in no hurry. I can't say enough praises for the quality of job that was done on this razor. Every detail from knurling to the numbers are better than what they were before. From their receipt this was done correctly with nickel then gold applied followed by lacquer finish. A beauty and this razor can easily go up against any of the finest British razors.
