Shipping costs to Montana was 20 Euro's. I have posted the photo's Ulrik was so kind to send me of my razor.
BTW, manufacturing time was only about 2 weeks, though I was anticipating 6 to 7 weeks. He had it in the mail by the time he received payment. Enjoy the photo's.

mtwoodwrkr,
That is one beautiful razor. Maybe some day.

Just received this razor with out the logo due to Ulrik not happy with the way the logo was,not holding up but I still went away with the order and so glad I did . The razor is a full hollow and feels great looks great . I don’t think they get any better than this.

Gary, please let us know how it honed and how it shaves. I am strongly considering one of those but would like to hear some feedback before I make the plunge.

Gary,

I have the same razor on order, although I already have the exact same blade and it's a great razor and an excellent shaver, I love the grind, I prefer it with the double stabiliser, here's my razor with the same 14 blank.

I will do. I will be using the razor on Saturday night�� It is hollow ground very hollow the bevel is minute which is what Ulrik likes to achieve a small bevel that is. I can tell you this much it pings hairs mid drift and hht just first touch the hair is gone. The last one was wicked sharp but I did find 30 strokes on the Snow White and 12 k naniwas with a thew licks on crox and I don’t think you would get a smoother shaver . I will let you no Saturday how it goes.

Let me no how it shaved I am sure it will get your 20 k treatment

Stefan I could not wait so I just took a shave. After ten years plus using a straight and having tried most razors from vintage to big custom makers such as livi razors etc . Also having learned how hone my self and also having experience guys like Jamie and other top guys hone for me I have to say this razor gave me the best shave ever I am not sure if it’s the steal that’s such good quality but I can honestly say get one . The honing is outstanding. Super silky and shaved effort lessly it really did . I would swap all my razor s for Ulrik razors both mine are outstanding shavers . You won’t be disappointed .

This edge does not need any further honing it’s superb .

If Jamie has ordered another one they must be good oh and by the way Jamie honed my fily up to his 20 k g it was superb . I still say this fily look alike as good if not better and well worth the price
