Dearest Maximilian,

You are the greatest. Sorry everybody else, that's just the way it is.

I'm just going to sit here for a while holding this razor in my hand and staring at it, feeling its weight and balance and admiring its glorious curves.

I think the old boys of Solingen can now rest easy, knowing that someone finally did what they could not, and crafted scales worthy of their finest steel.

THIS is what a razor should look and feel like.

You put this big, bad SOB in any man's hand, and I guarantee he will say "you do WHAT now with this blade?! On your FACE?!"

It humbles me.

I could seriously chop down a tree with this thing. Holy crap.

And then my great great grandson is going to do the same thing in another hundred years, cuz it's still going to be here kicking ass long after I'm gone.

Thanks, dude. You're my hero.
