    This is a custom bruno made for me, loosely based on a lancet grind, i put an 11/16" mappin and webb in for size comparison, the scales are made by val at the gentlemans den in toronto, and were courtesy of phrank, so once again phanks phrank

    From what i have read, there are a few about, but a lot of them are in pretty ordinary shape, so you have a lancet, india steel diamond edge, and what else on your wish list andy?

    Yup - the Ottoman is on mine...and have a Masonic W&B and a, "Celebrated Fine India Steel Set Ready for Use" on the blade face in the shop now. The Ottoman, aside from some pics on here, never seen one before on eBay or anywhere else....but then again, never expected to see a George Brittain Iron Cross either...so patience and keep on looking....

    Great looking razor man. Pic looks like an elephant riding a mouse. This guy makes some of the best blades I've seen. How do they perform? And who do I have to kill to get one? (Prefer to buy but murder is an option)

    Just PM bruno, he will sort you out, i think you can buy through SRD as well. I did some research before i commissioned bruno, and he got good feedback from a few of the more senior members here, so i went with him, i am still only on shave 2 with this beastie and am still getting the angles etc right.
