Thread: The Customs Dept.

Here's my two custom razors...

First up is from Joe Chandler--




Next is from Frank Warner--

Thanks for posting that Chandler piece. I could look at that all day. Seriously.
If you ever feel the need to part with it.......PM me.
Srsly sweet.

This has been an EXPENSIVE month. Here is my Chandler 5/8 Roundpoint in Desert Ironwood Scales purchased from straight Razor Designs. I liked it so much I have a Damascus Chandler on the way,also from Straight Razor designs. I hope to get it by Tuesday.

RAD-has again raised it's ugly head and could not be ignored. The second Chandler-THIS MONTH.

Joe Chandler 6/8 Damascus Frenchpoint in Snakewood Scales.His workmanship is second to none IMHO.

My first full on custom form the workshop of Joe Chhandler. An 11/16 french point, half hollow blade in horn scales. This razor is exactly my preference in a razor. Simple yet elegent. And it handles like a dream. It is tuned in to my preferences in keenness and is a smooth shave.

I am loving it!!

May I humbly present my ticket for admission to the The Customs Department, gentlemen? A rather nice Buddel butcher's notch half hollow ground in Suminagashi steel, scaled in polished palisander(?) burl from Gabor at Fine Razors Fine Razors The pictures really do not do justice to the beautiful layering within the steel or the depth of the grain in the wood. It feels organic in my paw & almost an extension of my finger tip while shaving. Simply awesome. Gabor is both an artisan & a gentleman. I will post a review of its shaving when we are better acquainted.

Knock, knock! Room for a Lady Gents?



Presenting my first custom, a L R Harner PCR. Razor by L R "Butch" Harner, purchased from L R Harner.

I'm still in awe of this fabulous blade. This little number is 6/8 x 2.25 and gives a smooth shave. I will write more when I've used it more.

Always room for the ladies! Does this mean we have to start washing the glasses at the bar?

No need Doc. Just change the sawdust on the floor occasionally and it's all good!
