    Well thought out, well executed, and a visual pleasure. Great work and I hope you are rewarded with a terrific shaver.

    sharptonn: The undisputed master of the cobble together! Just saw an Iwasaki for over 2K. It is disorienting when you long for the days when a razor was 1K (and it was surprisingly out of reach then).

    Congratulations on such a great razor, loving the scales.
    I have the same Iwasaki and I can say what an amazing shaver it is. Mine has the original scales which look cheap and pales in comparison to yours.

    That is a great looking dog in your avatar! When I see one I think of the quote in a book I gave my son when he was given an American Staffordshire Terrier: 'the dog that looks like a dog.'

    The MOP scales are stunning, and in so many ways now that I think of it are perfect for a Japanese razor - great work as always and thanks for the MOP!

    My appreciation, Gents! Takes a bit of patience to match them up, it seems. Time is one thing I have plenty of!
