My new Buddel

I got a note from Gabor earlier today telling me that my razor is going in the post tomorrow.

What do you reckon?

Fine Razors - 6/8 Buddel Damast Rasiermesser mit Mammutelfenbein

It's a 6/8 shoulderless with a French point. It's a 1/4 hollow with mammoth ivory scales. To make it real personal, I got my initials laser etched into the scales.

I like your Buddel customs. Gabor really puts his own style into each of his blades, there is certainly no mistaking a Buddel!

That mammoth ivory is something special. I wonder how different it is to elephant ivory in person? You wouldn't happen to have any to compare?

I don't mind at all Bob. That is a beautiful razor. What a great combination of blade and scales. Let us know how it shaves? Gabor does wonderful work.

I was inspired by these photos and have just ordered a Buddel. Now the worst part; the wait.

It might be worth changing your name so they would be YOUR initials if it ever went for sale.

Enjoy your new razor. She is a beauty.

G'day Marc, it arrived the other day. I'm just waiting for the weekend so I get some decent natural light so I can take some decent pictures of it.

Oh nice, how's it shave? I really like that point, actually the whole shape of the blade.

I'm going to try and hold off shaving with it for a couple of weeks so I can have a very special birthday shave with it.
