Not to be an enabler Rezdog, but:

As for the OP, though the seller does some nice work, particularly some of his kirinite(sp?)
scales, at that price point you could win another on eBay and have it restored the way you want. Or get a custom, or 2.

I know the vendor and have seen his work first hand. Val's a super nice guy and does amazing work. I got to talk to him at our last meet in Tilsonburg at Mikes place (Mcbladescar). He's a very knowledgeable guy and is a great guy to hang out with. He's a member here, but doesn't post that often. He goes by TheGentlemansDen. When it comes to restorations, he definitely has his own style, but it's flawless.

Beautiful, i like the fact that its huge, but looks like at least a 3/4 hollow grind. Really is the type of razor i want to find.

As for value, guess the best way to put it is, would you rather have that, or a REALLY nice mastro livi custom. or heck like 3 hart razors!

Yes, it's a beauty, as mentioned they are hard to come by, especially the one's with the square tip, it's also a full hollow....I couldn't get to the Tilsonburg get together, shame, would have liked to meet him and everyone else!

Thanks thisisclog. I doubt I need any enabling, but I think I'm in good company on that one. The razor in the original post is a beauty for sure.

Well, I met with Val i.e., thegentlemensden today, good thing we both live in Toronto, and we came to an agreement where we both decided this razor belongs in my home:

Phrank, you dog! How many grandchildrens' future incomes did you pledge for this acquisition? It looks grrreat!
