In spring 2010 I visited "Buddel".
Fine Razors - Home
We spoke about straight razors (of course). He gave 2 of my razors new scales and I learned a lot about restoring.
He also creates new straight razors in a very good quality take a look at his gallery.
Last week I got my own custom straight razor and it is beautiful.
Fine Razors - 7/8 Buddel Razor aus Silberstahl mit Büffelhorn
Yes- my razor looks like a futuristic Wade & Butcher!
It is a hommage to the old craftsmen who produced such beautiful straight razors more than 100 years ago.
Enjoy the pictures

So how do these beauties shave?
They're gorgeous, and from an area known for wonderful blades. You guys that have multiple customs - what's the scoop. Do they shave better than a Genco? A Robert Williams?, a Zowada? It's certainly legit to want the beauty & craftsmanship - but are the shaves much better than, say, a $250-300 wacker? Would like to know.
