    I rest my case.

    Might fine work Bob. Very nice. Anyone would be proud to have this one as one of their regular shavers I would imagine.

    Thanks Stu, I hope so. It's going to a mighty fine man. I hope he likes it as much as I hated parting with it.

    A few years back I received a personalised bone scaled swayback in the post. Bob's note said he wanted the razor to go to a good home.
    Not only was I impressed by Bob's generosity(As this kind of thing usually dosn't happen to me), but I was very impressed by the shave quality the razor gave. In fact I knew I had to own another and the wait began.
    I prefer the bigger blade and Bobs style is right up my street, the balance and heft is spot on for me.
    The grinding is also very impressive, I would say almost full hollow on the green abalone, bevel is really thin.
    I own a few top notch shavers by which I benchmark everything else I own amongst which include a filli and W&B. Having touched up the edge to my favourite stone to comapare like for like, I have to say that this razor shaves every bit as good as my best razors.
    For someone who wants something unique and personal I cannot recommend the quality of these razors enough.
    Bob is also very generous with his knowledge and the razor on the right is a work in progress made so far using the stock removal methods that Bob has taught me.

    I'm delighted with the razor.
    Thanks Bob
    Joey
