    Default Ottoman reinterpretation in XC130 steel, differentially hardened.

    Another razor finished in XC130 steel, differentially heat treated, using fireclay coating on the spine and an interrupted water quench. The design is my re-interpretation of the W&B Ottoman. The scales are stabilized burl. The xc130 gives very smooth shaves and takes a very fine edge.

    The exchange rate is the single biggest thing keeping my various acquisition disorders in check.

    That razor really is beautiful all the way around.

    The exchange rate is indeed an issue.
    For a short while I price my razors in Euro, but these days I keep more or less the same dollar prices. That is usually more convenient. And since most of my customers are from the US, it also means that they don't suddenly have to pay more than they expected.
