    Thank you Keith, it's the best steel I have ever used. Robert doesn't live too far from my mountain home. I highly recommend trying his 1059 steel .The design was a one time purchase for me, but it's all about the steel.

    Some of his recent designs are amazing. He is taking it to another level with his engraving skills.

    Yes sir... I enjoy playing around with the resin/wood combo design. They don’t always work out. :)

    A very heavy, near wedge grind. Very silent... as it tries to remove my chin :).

    Every time I use this razor I’m reminded why I think it is my favorite. Feels like a butter knife with the right angle and cuts through the stubble as well as or better than all of my others. Da comrades, is glorious. :happy036:
