    Well I really, really like it...if that's you stepping outside the box, you should do it more often, having said that, from seeing many of your other designs and restores, the box you're in is already plenty big!

    Great work....

    I've always wanted a blade with barber pole scales. Mark was able to take it to another level by incorporating the name of my city (also the name of my barber shop) in scrimshaw. His work is stellar as ALWAYS!

    Sharptonn is to thank for the sweet and rarely seen blade from Bradford in Boston. It strongly resembles a Sheffield style razor and measures close to 15/16 if I remember correctly.

    I'm totally stoked about displaying it for everyone to see.

    Thanks you all, especially those involved in this project!

    Wow what a beauty , I especially like the way you faux burnished the color fade on the stripes. Like a man was running it thru his hand for one hundred years and just wore it away.
    Brilliant!!!

    Scales are very "Outsider/Folk Art"

    You made a fine choice with this Classic look

    I'll be working down a few blocks from your shop Josh, at the new hospital in West Reading. I'll have to stop over to see it one day after work.

    You're always welcome Matt. I enjoy your company and your haircut couldn't be any easier!
