Thread: Tip of the hat to Max!

Mad Max is the man! He is a major contributor to this site and I always look forward to seeing his latest restores. If you know anything about straight razors you would be proud to own at least one of his excellent restores/rescales!

Yeah, Max is indeed the master when it comes to resto. I can't believe some of the work he does. Meticulous + the man is an artist in metal and in scale design and execution.

I am starting to think that Max should hope a seminar at the TI factory. But the French would protest that too! :

We all know Max's ability and attention to detail in his beautiful restores, but what makes Max great has nothing to do with that. It is Max the "person" that makes him special. His kindness and gentleman-like behavior is what makes him "MAX"!

Dang. That is so freakin' sweet. Of course exactly what we would expect from Max.

I think that we need some intervention for poor ol' Max and his OCD, maybe we can get him into therapy.

On second thought, let's just leave him the way that he is until he can't make those fantastic drool generating masterpieces of his.

I agree with Doc!!!

Max has worked on a few razors for me now, two restores, 5 or 6 rescales and multiple hones. Everything he does is spot on. and a great great guy. Talk to him for 5 minutes and he feels like one of your best friends, just a first rate person and amazing craftsman.

Absolutely.

Others say that he works for a secret government organization and that he uses technology uncovered in a little other worldly fender bender down Roswell's way that officially never really happened!!!!!!! I don't know where to separate the fact from the legend when it comes to Max I just know that Max is without a doubt a great fella I asked him for some help the other day and he was there without a question. I know their are others out there who have experienced his help as well!!!!!!!!! Max you are one of the best buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Doc, you're living dangerously aren't you? You know that you are not suppose to utter certain things. You know they're watching.

Maybe you should put out a statement something along the lines that you are of sound mind and that there is nothing mechanically wrong with your vehicle. Oh well, if you do disappear some of us will have a good idea what happened.
