... it is, will be headed to Canada shortly for Vlad to make a box for it. ...

Now this razor says Bill Ellis all over it. I don't think you needed to worry about identifying it as one of yours. I don't remember seeing any razor that even looks close to this one. Maybe I should look harder?

Simply gorgeous. Now I have to come up with a box for this beauty that won't look like a cheap add on and will travel the circuit with it. Talk about pressure!

Wow...seeing the finished product I'm almost sorry I signed up for because it's soooooooo nice! Please make note I said ALMOST...I'm still enthused about my chance to test drive it although from the looks of things being able to AFFORD an Ellis is going to be slim to not-gonna-f'n-happen. Too much ability there. I hate to say it but I'm almost saddened this one turned out so well...I was hoping you'd be a more attainable alternative to the Maestro since not all of us have the kind of cashflow to throw around to buy his razors much as we'd all like to. Maybe I'll get lucky this summer and get enough extra off duties to buy one of yours...

I'm interested to see the finished product of your traditional razors as well seeing as the profile looks nothing like any other razor I'm familiar with and I absolutely fell in love with it when you posted those process shots. I AM curious however as to what your pricing is going to be like? I assume you don't have a definate point yet but maybe you could give us a ballpark figure for basic blade and scales and then upgrade prices for things like special scales, filework, etc?

I AM curious however as to what your pricing is going to be like?

Well, I'm thinkin' that this specific razor, if it survives the traveling, will go for around $450. Anybody interested now at that price? I can put you on the order list if you are serious. They will be completed in the order that they are received. Otherwise, I may only make a couple an put them on my site. Remember, the price can only go up, so this is your shot...

Those rubies look pretty purple to me, aren't they supposed to be a brownish red?

Cheap rubies...
They are actually a rasberry kind of color.

Oh... and when you send your email and mailing address, also include your SRP ID.

RT... I need your current address

Larry... yours too... you are also required to send some 8 x 10 glossies..

My standard razors will be around $300. Want on that list? Email me... put Razor Order in the subject line. As they are done, I will email the first on the list with a photo. If you like it... off it goes to you. If not, I contact the next person on the list and the first person waits for the next razor to be done. Yada yada.

Woohoo, boy, do I wanna try that thing, I just don't believe my customs and the postman...

It looks, well, I'm out of superlatives here. I wonder how it will perform without the handles... Bill, have you tried it yet?? We are waiting for the shave comments.

simply gorgeus, (the razor, that is)
Nenad

Should be on the way to Vlad by Monday at the latest...

Bill, have you tried it yet?? We are waiting for the shave comments.

In the words of most eBay sellers, "It's very sharp"

Don't forget to sign up!




I am going to reserve comments until all y'all have given yours. I will say this: "I really like the shape for shaving. There are so many comfortable ways to shave with it. All of which cut equally well. And... you don't have to switch to the off hand to shave one side of your face.


Oh, and I added a couple more pics to tha web page if you haven't looked recently...

Where's medicray when you need him!?

Bill,


I look like that every day!!

Hey, that's a slick lookin' razor there Willie. Mind if I try it? I can't remember if I am on the list.

Just got on the list... I will be counting the days!
