    Time to fill in my contribution to this thread.

    Ordered two razors off Robert some time ago.

    Last week he contacted me promptly to let me know my turn was up, and that he was ready to start making the razors for me.

    A week later, this:

    1. Square point, satin finish, standard filework, buffalo horn scales, 13/16", 1/4 hollow, H.C.S.



    2. Spanish point, satin finish, standard filework, buffalo horn scales, 13/16", 1/4 hollow, H.C.S.

    Nice looking razors. I really like the spine work. Thinking I'm going to copy your spine work next.....if you don't mind.

    No worries brother, these are minimum spec by the way, could have added stamping, mirror finish, etc. but wanted something fairly clean and simple to start with. Razors been delivered already but not got them in my hands as I am in expatland, so more pics to come when the right time arrives.

    Robert is great to deal with, he's giving concise and detailed info so you'll minimize time needed to setup or adjust the design(s) you like, good luck with your choices.

    Lovely blades, Naval. 'Very similar to my 'minimalist' blade from him. No steel I've tried feels like a Williams. I did need to hone to be satisfied w/ the edge, but that may just be my preferences. 'Hope you get them soon and just get lost in Blissville.

    This is LONG over due but here are my 2 Robert Williams razors. The Man is a Master at what he does and probably the nicest most professional person i have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Once again THANK YOU Mr. Williams.

    Nice. Let us know how it shaves, I've been intrigued with that razor.
    I love living in the past...
