Those Maggard SHD knots are super nice. Very soft, and even as dense as they are, they don't seem to hog the lather. Did you make the handle too?

No. I don't have the tools necessary to make a handle. I found someone on Etsy that makes them though.

That's a rather regal bit of kit. Very elegant, indeed! How old is the razor?
