My jaw dropped when I first saw that razor. I'm a big fan of his work and own three of his blades. I'm actually glad it was sold when I found it or I might have done something really stupid in order to acquire it. In my mind, it is the nicest razor Tim has ever made and the incredible scales complete the package and make it something really special.

Big + 1. The credit card balance would have been through the roof. I also have two of his razors and the terrestrial razor really blew me out of the water. I too was glad the temptation was gone. ..... sort of.

Yep, I own a couple myself and they are nice shavers. Just have to keep a coat of oil on them at all times as the deep etching in the pattern weld is really prone to rusting. Other than that, shave on.......

Beam me up Scottie........

Beam me up is right!!

I saw that razor on Classic and it had already sold. The colour of the mammoth scales is the most beautiful I have ever seen. And I am a cream ivory fan!

I know I had seen on TZ's site that he has meteorites for sale and I thought that was kind of weird. But that razor was as jaw dropping awesome as I have ever seen.

Words just can't express......

When I saw that high dollar meteorite damascus blade + ivory I too thought it was grand- Man, did you ever in your lives think there would be a need for a lay-away plan to buy a straight razor??
A real work of art- I wonder how long it will be before he makes another one. If it takes a year to make one then it tends to take the impact out of the price if one could say put down $500 to order one like a layaway-

From what little I have read most are mixes of iron and nickel and difficult to work. I have a 5 lb chunk of it sitting on my fireplace mantle.
