Seems the pics got a little mixed up sorry!
Beautiful razors, really nice work :tu
I kinda like the one with the purple wedge! Lol :tu
Can't wait to have it in my hands Brian, looks really stunning!
Beautiful razors. I find those french points talk to me. Great job.
You keep producing the eye candy, I think they look stunning!
Brian,
These are beautiful razors. The one with the Purple/Black wedge is my fav. Really stunning!
Beautiful razors as always Brian. Someone is going to enjoy some great shaves.
Once again; just stunning Brian.
Two fine specimens right there:)
Very beautiful design, and they seem very well crafted too.
Great work, thanks for sharing.
I love those French points;)
Wow Brian!!:tu Love your work!! Cant wait to get my turn...:y
Great details on both:rock::rock:
cheers

Spectacular. Really spectacular.
At first I thought the scales were too wide, then I saw the massive blades hidden inside them and it all made sense. I love carbon fibre scales especially with lighter blades as it gives great balance, these will be a welcome addition to any collection.
Keep cranking them out Brian! Excellent work as always. Love seeing all the new stuff.
Wonderful looking razors, i'm a big fan of carbon fibre, having a few custom knives in carbon fibre, like my Klotzli ACC1 and my rare never carried Klotzli Spyderco Michael Walker C22, love that purple wdge really fits in so perfectly.

Really nice work, someone will be very proud to have one of those in their rotation. I especially love the little notch cut out at the thumb rest/stabilizer.
Spectacular razors. The blade design is just wicked and the CF scales look awesome,
Very stylish nice razors. Great work!
Fantastic pair. The spine work is very, very nice. Love your work.
Those are some fine looking razors, I am digging the tang shapes. I like the little notch between the tang and heel of the blade.

It seems it need a slight more taper. You can feel it when stroping. It not enough to scratch the leather but just enough to notice.
Stunning work! That purple wedge really stands out and is VERY COOL!!
You consistantly blow me away with your work Brian. Seriuosly beautiful

So a bit of follow up on the razor pictured here with the Orange spacer...
Brian sent this out to me so I could mess around with honing it and shaving it... When I talked with him I learned that he normally goes to natural stones for finishing, so for the first run through I decided to go to the exact polar opposite and see how the razor faired..
Honing the first time was done on the full set of Shaptons 1-2-4-6-8-16-30 + 10 laps on Cerium Oxide the razor was very well behaved all the way through on the hones not a single hiccup...
The results of my first shave last night were great, the razor held onto the Shapton edge and delivered a very close comfortable shave.. In fact I still can't feel stubble after 12 hours:)

I am going to shave it once again with this edge then re-hone using an Escher as a finisher and see how that feels too..
I redid the other BB today, also with Shaptons :)
Brian warned me before I got it he wasn't 100% satisfied with his honing on it, and the least couple shaves didn't feel right, so it was time. Chosera 1k, 2-4-6-8-16k Shapton GS, then 0.50 CBN on balsa, 0.25 CBN on balsa, finishing with 0.125 CBN on leather.
Now we were talking, got a killer shave, nice and smooth and really , really close, we are talking almsot BBS at the second pass, yet you go for a third because it feels so good!.... :)

I can't tell a lie...blix was the victim of a new hone acquisition...lol
Kind of like a kid that gets a BB gun for Christmas.... You have to try it out, Right!
I did give him fair warning though...lol
Sweet! Nice work!
