The blade is awesome...but those scales are BEAUTIFUL.

Nice razor, very nice work traveller

I'm looking through my razors now to fund a set of those yellow scales. You do great work, love my first set from you.

Thanks for the kind words guys, sorry but this razor is sold.......sold................................... .......sold.Best Regards gary

I was the fortunate member to purchase this str8. This was my first purchase from Gary.
I was extremely impressed by the quality of the work on the blade as well as the scales. However, this morning, came the real joy. I stropped up the blade on canvas then leather and was off to the shower. After lathering up with some wonderful Momma Bear's Rosemary and Mint, I began the shave. The blade sliced through my beard like butter. This was one of my best shaves, easily providing a BBS shave.

I can highly recommend Gary's razors to anyone comtemplating a razor. In addition, while the price may seem a little high for a beginner, here are some considerations: you are getting a quality razor that has a money back gaurantee and Gary will rehone the razor anytime you wish for the cost of the postage. Since honing can be a big learning curve for beginners, this could ease the path to becoming a str8 shaver.

I'll definitely be looking for another razor from Gary in the future. This Joseph Rodgers is superb!

Thanks Gary!!!

You shave in the shower??? That razor-sharp blade will cut other things easier than your whiskers, if you know what I mean.
Unless you're more fortunate than me in that department, I can't afford even a sliver, you might be singing soprano!!

Guess that was poorly worded. I meant only to say that I took a shower to soften the beard. I can see how that would read that I was shaving in the shower... ah, well. Not one of those things I ever intend to try with a straight.

Steve,glad to hear that,you had me worried as well.Unlike Fred,I have plenty to spare.(in my dreams,but it doesnt matter at my age)Best regards Gary
