Thread: 9/8 Custom T-rex Ali's Blade

Dear Gentlemen,

I'm thinning the herd a bit and in pursuit of shaving-Zen letting go of some blades that I enjoyed having, but that are either a bit too radical or too small. I'm in to straights for over six years now and have slowly come to realise which type of razor I like.

Hence, up for sale is this magnificent 9/8 custom T-rex from Cedric Christ (Ali's Blade).
The blade is impeccable and has a nice Hamon line.
There are many T-rex's out there but none like this one.
He initially made this blade for a knife store, but they didn't want it.
I asked to buy it and here it is. The spine and tail are unique.
I asked Cedric and he indicated that he would never make another T-Rex like this again.


I am the first owner of this razor.
The bevel was set using the unicot method on a Select Coticule with one layer of tape on the spine.
The edge was finished with light X-strokes on a Select Coticule with two layers of tape on the spine.
The edge was polished on an Escher with light X-strokes with two layers of tape on the spine.
The razor was stropped on a Kanayama 80.0000 strop.
The spike is not muted.
It's shave ready by my standards.

Please note that this is an early razor from a talented maker, but comes without any fancy box.

I'm asking 750 USD for it and will ship it by registered mail to anywhere on the planet.

I will state the sold value on the customs duty form.
Only that way is it insured for the proper amount and can I take responsibility for sending the razor.
Import duties and taxes for your country are your own responsibility.
I'm open to other options for shipping, but will decline any responsibility in that case.

Paypal preferred.

For questions PM me. As per forum rules, I will sell this razor to the first person claiming to buy it in this thread.
Thanks for watching and thanks to SRP for these member classifieds.

What an awesome blade!

OK that's just a really cool looking blade.

I'm taking a bit over 11% off the price. (Not to wind up with the number of the beast...)
Will sell this now for 660 USD.
It's the only discount I will do on this razor.

This one goes back into the rotation for the moment.
