    Most shaving forums have Buy Sell Trade sub forums. Social media is an excellent place to find razors though I do not use social media myself.

    Good hunting gentlemen.

    I should be receiving this custom Art Razor from the Ukraine within a short time. It is 13/8 half hollow.

    Thank you Tom! I have a 10/8 Max Sprecher and nickname it the Mad Max. When I finally have the AR 1000 in my possession, I will have a photo of them side by side to illustrate the size of this humungous razor.

    Love the look of the covered tang - the black is always a cool contrast to a nice blade.

    On the Senator above, did you craft the scales? Very nice, sleek shape.

    And welcome!

    My experience is the same as Billy’s. For razors of the popular W&B period, I prefer Joseph Rodgers and Wostenholm.

    Thank you for your opinion, and a tangible reason for choosing one, or not!
