I will add that the workmanship in these is literally perfect, scales and all. At least in my example.
It seems a robot/CNC made it. Crazy symmetry, IMO. The man has skills!

Absolutely it does....was just looking at the pics of the last one he did for me, pics just don't quite capture the beautiful smile that this razor has....it's matched perfectly at 9/8 and the smile is more symmetrical on Sergej's than the original...mind you, Sergejs isn't 160 years old and been on the stones multiple times over the last two centuries......

Even then, I dunno. I have some virtually NOS Sheffields and his are tighter.
TBH, even if he did them on a CNC, he would still be an artist. Nice razor.

I was eyeing that (or one similar) that he had on ebay.( is that an 8/8s?) nice razor. Would have liked to bid on it but i'm sure after just getting ourselves in debt with a new car(or at least new to us) i knew it wouldn't be a good idea. Congrats!
