Excellent work and very unusual looking razor. Not many modded covered tangs out there... Well done

So awesome Glen! Covered tang and scales marry well together. It's indeed mesmerizing.

Thats beautiful work Glen!

What a fantastic job!

Wow!!! I like it for sure! Now wondering if maybe one of the ones I sent could have that treatment? But ...more work, as they are regular tangs that haven't been ground down for that purpose right?

Very unique! I like it.

Just passing through the gallery and saw this one,that is one of the nicest razor restores I've seen yet.

Now that's a lather! Oh, gr-gr-gr-great looking razor, too!

Absolutely AMAZING!!
I find myself wiping off the fingerprints all the time. I can't believe how well this razor turned out. Total perfection in craftsmanship, honing and color combination.

When I first got it on Saturday all I could do is sit there and stare at it. It really is that beautiful of a razor and how smooth the scales and tang felt. WOW!

Given there are no jimps on the tang I was afraid it might be too slick to handle... pffft... I can hold onto this razor very well and it appears the acrylic doesn't make it hard to handle when my fingers are a little wet.

Also... what did you do, Glen, break out the good hones like getting out the good whiskey when company comes over? WOW!!

My first shave was with 2 days of stubble and it glides so smooth it is unreal. So, I thought, why not try it with a weeks worth of growth and see what happens. This razor cut right through like my wedge does. One pass, WTG and that is all I felt was needed. Given how sharp this razor is I really don't need the kung-fu grip on the tang.

Now I see why gentlemen here like Boker so much. With how this razor turned out so amazing it would appear my razors will be going through a layoff. *hands a pink slip to my Dovo*

Glen, you have really out done yourself on this razor! My hat goes off to you on this project. I'm still at a loss of words on how it looks and flows so well with the tang, how lightweight it is, how sharp it is and how it glides so smooth. This razor is a true work of art and craftsmanship. Undoubtedly, this razor will be a benchmark for all my future honing and restores.

I got what I wanted for Christmas this year!

Thank you, Glen!!! I wish the weather wasn't bad when you were here so you could see my reaction and not have to read it.
