    The razor is done, honed, and ready for the first shave by the new owner. The edge feels really good and should make a great shaver in any rotation. I do not shave with my razors as it would make them... USED.

    It's a quarter-hollow 7/8 Irish point with yellow heart scales and a couple tiny embellishments.

    I'll take pics tomorrow...

    ah - i'm falling in love.... :)
    when bill had the scales choices, i thought the yellow heart would be my last choice, but i did vote for bill's choice. now i know i was right.... to vote the way i voted that is. i really like how it is simple and understated. i keep thinking it's got somewhat of a wild west character to it, can't really explain why...

    well, that is some great work bill! simply outstanding!





    sooo, is it raffle time yet?

    Fantastic Job Bill. I really need to win this razor. It is just what I've been looking for spec wise. Damn. Now I have to go to church Saturday morning and light a few candles and say a few prayers. Oh, and a conversation or two with the Shave Gods. I'm trying to cover all the bases. Maybe I can pretend St. George is Patron Saint of Wet Shaving. He's already got England, Boy Scouts and Horse Riders under his belt. Now where is my Bill Ellis Voodoo doll. I need to practice it picking my name out of a hat. :D
