Reminiscent of Sergej's work in his homage works to the Sheffield blades in my opinion.

This #14 replica is one of the most fascinating pieces I've seen in a long time...tick, tick, tick...

It was the scales that did it for me. Just nice elegant razor.

I have this on the way. I found the customer service superb

Received my custom razor . I am well pleased with the razor . This guy does a great job the bevel is super even and tiny the scales are nice and open and close perfect unlike some bug customs
Razors that just don’t feel right . Right out the box super sharp and after a minor touch up on the 8 k and 12 k followed by ten strokes on crox was more to my comfort level. I think he uses diamond paste which is just a bit much for me, just personal preference. Very happy and carnt wait to receive my fily look alike at the end of feb.

Anybody know about how long it takes to get a custom razor from Ulrik? And how much shipping usually is, specifically to Canada?

I realize they go over this after an inquiry, but I am not sure I am ordering one yet and wanted to get this info before inquiring if possible.

Here is how Ulrik told me he finishes the blade:

Ulrik Beyer
"I have finished it on a Naniwa 10K followed by 5 laps on chromium oxide (on denim) and 5 laps with 120K diamond spray on leather."

I'm sure it depends on the blade and timing. Mine took about a month. As far as shipping cost, I goto the customizer, design your razor and he will send you a shipped cost to you.

I love the custom razor I received from him! Beautiful piece!

My first Koraat is in the mail. An 8/8's near wedge with olive scales. Ulrik is a pleasure to deal with and extremely responsive to emails, especially if you consider Austria is at least 8 hours ahead of the Eastern U.S.
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.

When I first looked at your gorgeous new razor, it reminded me of the west, of fancy saddles decked out with silver. Then I noticed you were from Montana. I grew up in Idaho, and have lived in Oregon the past 30 years, and I love it! Congratulations.

waw, super
@mtwoodwrkr to enjoy it with pleasure.

Thank you Richard. Not much for the fancy saddles, as I grew up on a working ranch and farm, but this design just spoke to me. If I ever get another razor, it will also be a Koraat, but most likely less ornate. Thanks again.

Yes that’s what he told me do you no what he uses before his ten k naniwas?
