You know, that did cross my mind when I wrote it, but I thought 'artistic license'!

Haha what a cool story, and what a stunning razor! That has to be one of the nicest I've seen for a while.
The sleeve that fits over the spine, does it have anything inside it to prevent it for scratching the surface of the razor when you slip it on and off? And can you strop the razor without it fitted? It's a simple yet ingenious solution.
Oh god, so I have a reputation there do I? That's a bit worrying. I hope you didn't tell him I ended up selling all of the razors hes made for me so far, for one reason or another.
. The funny thing is my girlfriend and her daughter pronounce my name Ivo or Ivan too, as they're from Slovakia and it's easier to say than Iwan, which is pronounced You-anne - same as Ewan McGregor.
I'm quite tempted to order another one having read your write up, but I think I'll have to wait for a special occasion like you did. My girlfriend would skin me alive I think.

As soon as I saw the picture of that amazing razor, my eyes got about 3 times wider! Congrats on such a great experience and gift, it's truly breathtaking.
Great story telling too. I felt like I was there...or maybe I just wanted to be there

What a great story, and fantastic razor. I loved the bit about him making it work in 7/8 and paying attention to it being for your 10th anniversary and putting in 10 circles. And I guess you'll never have to tape the spine on this one

If it was me, I'd tape the steel cuff! Originally Posted by bjrn

Speechless!
I wish you many years of enjoying the shaves and then passing down as a highly cherished heirloom!

Fantastic! Thanks for the effort in telling that great story, even if I'm even closer to having to buy a Livi.
