    Bruno: perhaps my Monday-morning quarterback comment was lost in the writing. I personally have seen non makers (consumers) nit pick details of everything including razors. You make blades, not me. I just buy them. You can critique or comment on whatever you want and so can the guy who never made anything. The prerogative of this builder is to remain nameless on this forum. His choice. My comment was nothing more than speculation. If I made a blade, I would probably post it for critique. That's my choice. He appears to choose differently. I don't know why you would take exception to my conjecture that maybe this guy doesn't want his work critiqued by his peers. It's only speculation and even if I am correct that is his prerogative.

    I believe if you search OCD razors a ton comes up. I was referring to the Gothic razor and the one Lynn received. Bobs razors have always been one of my favs and the man himself was a true Gentalmen to work with.

    Additionally, perhaps I haven't seen the other razors spoken of, but I cannot say I view this razor as an exact copy of anything. I guess I need more research.

    My apologies. When I read that comment I thought that was what you meant. Again. My apologies.

    I sign my work not only because I am proud of it. It's also a bar for quality. Because blades will be identifiable as being made by me, people know that I did my best to make a blade of high quality, and that I am not afraid to have my name linked to it. I make blades because of love for the craft. Lord knows I am not getting rich of it. Yet my love for the craft is not invalidated or lessened by the fact that I makr my blades.
    I've never agreed with Bruno more... If I make a blade and it's a piece of junk, I would hope someone would tell me so, so I can improve and give them a better product. And if someone likes it and enjoys it, then they can share it and pass it on! Not to say that's why this maker doesn't want his name passed along, just agreeing with Bruno's comment.


    Still a sweet looking hunk of steel either way you cut it. (Pun intended)

    No need to apologize, but a gentlemanly move for sure. I apologize if I came off sounding coarse. So much is lost in written communications. What I can say albeit off topic is that what you are doing for the community with your partially finished blades is top notch. You seem like a class act and it is a pleasure to interact with you.
