Jerry Stark Custom
Just got this one in today.
Jerry Stark custom
8/8 Near wedge
Elk antler scales
Mosaic pins
I have to say that he was a pleasure to work with, the turnaround time was fast and the quality is exceptional.
Can't wait for the test shave.

Wow, that's nice, although I'm just wondering just how heavy that razor is? I'm getting to where the heavier razors are harder to use!

Nice razor but as stated looks pretty beefy, on a side not has Jerry’s honing gotten any better, years ago they usually needed to be honed again to get the edge right.

Being that the razor is 8/8, and the scales are rounded antler which is a little thicker than normal, it is kinda big and beefy.
Just the way I like em.
I'll look at the edge later today before I break it in and do the Sunday shave tomorrow.

Another great custom straight for your collection. I hope it shaves as good as it looks.
Of course, the $64,000 question is how many customs do you need before you have ENOUGH!I am sure the answer is: Only ONE more!
