Bob and I were talking about making a Brian club before the sigs disappeared.
I really like that one, it was fun seeing the progress pics and I'm really glad that someone like you ended up with it.
I think we wanted to get up the club just a day or so before the sig's were pulled.
You got yourself a beautiful razor. I have a couple of Brian's and I am crazy about them. I am patiently awaiting another from Brian. : )
Thank you. Yea i enjoyed watching progress.Quote:

Here is mine. It's a 10/8 Spanish point. It's a fantastic shaving straight.

My Brian Brown bunch. Love them all. I had to borrow a couple of the pic's from Bian. Number 2 I donated to a fund raiser for finding a cure for breast cancer. I miss her, but she raised some nice $$. So it was a very worthy cause.
Great to see your post in here Blix. Beautiful razor
Wait, Bob, are you going to have more of Brian's razors than me (again)?
Dang it! Why is education so expensive?
I guess it couldn't happen to a better guy.
Meh, why not.
They are in order.
#6 First was to get a taste of Brian's skills:

#10 Next was for my wife. It was a save from a larger blade that had been ruined; he shortened it, rounded the point and converted it to a 4/8:

#12 Last is my pride. It was based off an older stubby of mine with a broader/ more curled tail, 8/8-7/8 taper, smile and a few other options making it one of my best shavers yet:

I hope not to stop here.
Here's mine, 8/8 Spanish point.

This is my first Brian Brown custom. When my wife asked me what I wanted for my upcoming 50th birthday I told her, without hesitation, a Brian Brown custom. It arrived today in the mail and I used it to remove 6.5 days worth of beard that I saved up in anticipation. The craftsmanship on this razor is amazing and I had an incredible early birthday shave. I used Brian's pics of the razor so you can see the details and included the one that I took of today's setup.
It is 7/8, rounded point, Damascus with blonde horn scales.

Currently have two BB's, but sadly, I didn't commission either.
The first one, which Brian refers to as No.81 is one a saw surfing the web ages ago. It reappeared in a BST listing, I waffled and missed it. Then it resurfaced in another BST and I didn't blink. Since I absolutely LOVE shorty blades, and white scales this razor has become my top dog..
8/8, Spanish point, shorty edge, drop tail and rounded tang, white G10

The second when was first spied on one of Brian's Instagram posts as part of a matched set. I haven't completely tracked it's origin, but I believe I am the third owner.
8/8, Spanish point, acid etched in Ivory with red G10 liners and wedge. Regrettably, one of the previous owners honed it without tape and the spine shows the slightest glint of the etching being worn off...
A beautiful fixed blade has joined the ranks.
The blade is a 6/8 western grind. It came with a nice Koa wood stand.

The stone is my Nakayama Maruichi Kamisori-Size from JNS.
Better quality pictures (by Mr. Brown) can be seen here.
Cheers.
Figured I would breath life into this old thread. Here are my BBRW razors. Im the second owner on the damascus custom. The square point in jade g10 was rescaled into briarwood. Attachment 272177Attachment 272178Attachment 272179Attachment 272180
