    Default custom straight?

    am i out of my mind for thinking about getting a custom job?

    i am getting my tax refund, and i was going to get a new set of goalie pads and gloves for 1300...but then i was thinking about razors...and how i wanted one of the straightrazordesigns ones done by the maestro.

    i have been shaving with a straight for maybe 8 months or so, and i know i will never be turning back.

    i currently own a dovo bismark, henkles, and some other solingen i got from an antique store.

    i really want an 8/8 damascas with mammoth ivory handle...i have been drooling over them since i saw them. but do i deserve one? am i worthy?

    i dont know...i dont want to miss out on one of these and years down the road regret not getting one?

    i am torn guys...am i too inexperienced to get one of these?

    brussolino,


    Everybody who shaves with a straight deserves one. It's just that everybody can't get one. I have also been drooling over those blades, but the only ones I can afford are less than $30 on ebay. Right now I can't even afford them and I told my wife the next one I get will be the srp official. I think everyone would be very proud and honored to have one of the maestro's razors. They look very very nice and most likely shave even better. They are art. And I am sure he takes great pride in every one he makes. If only we all had the skill and finess to make a great razor as those of the maestro. But for most that is a pipe dream. That is why he is the master and we are the loley students.

    If you want a custom razor then by all means buy
    yourself on. You are at the point now where shaving
    with a straight is definately for you. Buy it and
    enjoy.
