Dylan Farnham - Old Bones
Up for sale (reluctantly) is this Dylan Farnham one of a kind razor. The value of his stuff has really appreciated in the short time he has been around. Have a look at the collection on the ClassicShaving website, his blades are unreal. I would like to get $1500 for it but will entertain REASONABLE offers. It's essentially brand new, maybe 5 shaves on it and no honing, it's just been on the strop. Below is the original ad for it, it has all the details.
"This gorgeous, new razor from Dylan Farnham has taken on the moniker "Old Bones" around the ClassicShaving.com warehouse. From the blade's beautiful patina to its hand-carved, prehistoric, walrus tusk scales, this stunning razor is a usable work of art and heirloom-to-be.
Here are the specs:
- 1/4" O-1 Tool Steel - 7/8" blade width , 2 7/8" edge length
- Edge-quenched and tempered to 64-65 Rockwell hardness
- "Bone" textured spine, tang and tail
- Tang and tail segmented with a vertebrae/skeletal tail effect
- "Stone effect" acid-etch patina
- Ancient Walrus Tusk scales
- Naturally weathered
- Antiqued steel pivot pin
- Antiqued steel spacer pin and deer antler spacer
-Handmade Elk Skin Sheath
Made in California - All Farnham blades are honed, stropped and shave-ready"
I have attached some of their photos and some of mine. More could be provided upon request. I would cover insured shipping in North America. PM me for any questions or comments.

I haven't been very active on here for awhile now so my acronym recognition is poor... What is GLWS?

Good luck with sale, though I don't think you'll need any luck with that beauty!

That thing is really cool looking, but at that price point my wife would kill me (possibly with the razor) and besides I'd be afraid to try to shave with a piece of art. Good luck, I'm sure someone will snap it up.
