First off, let me apologize because this post should have been up a week ago.
I was looking for a unique present to give one of my closest friends. He is a 2nd LT in he Army, as I am, and we will be parting to go our ways in May. I will be attending medical school through the Army, and he will be on active duty in Oklahoma. Giving a gift is never easy...since it needs to be well thought out and personal. I was considering restoring an old razor for him, but my restoration skills, although improving, are nothing exceptional. I saw a few razors being sold on the B/S/T forum by Denmason, was impressed, and decided to ask him if he would restore a razor for me. I offered to send the razor and have him make the scales...but, Mr. Mason simply refused. I asked him if I could pay him for his services, and again...he simply refused and told me to check my mail.
I opened the package carefully, unwrapped the packing material, and then just stood there for a minute in silence. I had before me the most beautiful razor I had ever seen! I closed my eyes a few times...and opened them again thinking it must be the mirage of a rusty blade, but it was simply too beautiful.
I am truly truly grateful for this gift, and I think my buddy will be even more excited than I am, and I cannot thank you enough. :bow
Here are some pictures of this beautiful razor
The razor is an 8/8 Prima Solingen and I have been informed that the scales are Wenge
