This is probably the last Connecticut razor. I'm going to have to start tearing the shop down for the move on the 21st of June. This goal was to give a rich feel and elegance without being ostentatious.

Oh my lord. That engraving on the spine is just beautiful. I find that it gives off this incredible feeling of elegance.
Wow! That is amazing work. Elegant is definitely the word for it. "Classic" also comes to mind. Clean, simple lines with just enough embellishments to show off the artistry involved in producing such a fine tool.
Nailed it, beautiful workQuote:

Another stunning straight razor by Robert Williams. Some shaver is in for a world class shave. : )
That razor makes me think that I should have saved my money when I was younger. Super looker....

That's funny because the exact words in the e-mail were: " I shaved with the 8/8ths just now and holy smokes!!!! Unbelievable seriously wow!!!!". That's the sort of thing that makes my day. :)Quote:

I can tell you that it took quite a bit of practice for me and it's still a little never wracking because one slip or wrong move can trash many hours of work. A CNC engraving machine can cut patterns in metal repeatably but it can't mimic hand engraving because of the way it cuts. Nothing looks like hand engraving except hand engraving so I spent a few years and more than a few $$$ to undertake learning it. For a long time I wasn't sure I was ever going to really "get it", but it's starting to gel for me, now.Quote:

Do you need help with the move? :hmmm: Say someone to pack things into boxes and check to make certain everything is packed? :w: Yeah that's the ticket maybe some help overseeing the safety of the inventory.:angel:
My heartfelt thanks goes out to the SRP members because so many of you have PM'd me with offers to help pack all my razors and stuff for me. Not many offers to help me move my couch, but I guess this isn't livingroomfurnitureplace.com, is it? LOL. ;)Quote:
