    That is so nice! I shudder at the hours involved! The scales are sweet! Well worth it! These Framebacks deliver fine shaves. An 8/8 one is rare, I would think!
    Very good work!

    To see an old razor brought back from the grave, is a beautiful thing. Some lucky individual will get to shave with it.
