Thread: Tip of the hat to Max!

I wanted to give a tip of the hat to Max. He's a gentlemen and a craftsman! It took under two weeks with shipping for him to turn my F. Herder from tarnished antique to object of lust! Cant recommend him enough. Yes I do plan on posting a pictorially heavy review when I get done with these damn Law Finals!

As my first year constitutional law prof always said... it depends!

Looking forward to the pics as I am contemplating requesting Max make my stuff look good.

Good luck with the finals.

MAX?!?!?

Are you kidding? That menacing enabler. That slave master.

Just kidding. (ok, keep this among just us, but stay away from his web site if you know what's good for you, cancel your internet service if you have to, SAVE YOURSELF! All for one, and none for all !! Who's with me?!?!) (Don't do it! Don't do it! I'm warning you! Stay away from there!)

Ok, I'm just joking (sort of).

I do like joking with Max, and kidding around and giving him a hard time as much as possible.

He is indeed what you have said. He is in the highest class of the masters of his art, that's what he does, that's what he produces - works of art. He is quite the perfectionist as I am sure that anyone who knows him or has purchased any of his handy work will attest to, not to mention an outstanding photographer. A definite pleasure to know him. A very dedicated experienced and multi skilled professional.

He is a great credit and asset to this site and the straight razor / traditional shaving world / community.

A very well deserved tip of the hat, three cheers, and more.

Here's to you J.M.

the "great one" max,
this man is a wealth of information about any and all straights. i have asked him several times for dates of manufacturing and company info. he never fails to come through and is quick about doing so.
i have seen his work and it is nothing short of fantastic. like rod says, do not look at his website, it is just gonna make you drool over the pics there..
maybe soon, i will have one of those masterpieces in my hands for my very own...(one can only dream, can they not?)

Great stuff max, keep up the good work

Max is one of those people who sets the standard for beautiful restorations. I always look forward to seeing his work. He is indeed an artist and a gentleman of the highest caliber.

Bravo!!



OK, let's see some pics........

Great idea Lynn. How'z this Big Dog?

Alright gents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I have heard it said that ol Max got all that talent from a midnight meeting with a certain fella named Scratch, whom he met on a deserted cross roads down in New Orleans one stormy night........... They say that's the only way a mortal man could produce such sinfully wicked looking blades............. 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!!!!!!!!!!!!

I unite to you gentlemen in giving tribute to Max. He is indeed a master at this art. I own a razor fully restored by Max and it is a work of art, I have attached a picture of it which is a far cry from the original. My hat is off to you friend.

Seeing how Im the OP. Here is a 15/16 F. Herder #3 that I picked up over the summer locally from a knife collector. Here is before and after.
