Mr. Chandler does it again

I like Torreys, and the half hollow ones best of all. This was an interesting blade in pretty good condition with busted scales, and I thought it deserved something better than an old scales transplant so I sent it over to Joe.

Ivo's Radium razor looked so good to me that I asked Joe to notch the tip of this one in a similar fashion, and I ended up with what I think will be a heirloom razor. Take a look at the detailing he does in the wedge and spacer pin. It's nice to have one of these that looks as good as they shave.

Holy cow--that's gorgeous. I have a Sheffield razor that would enjoy a similar treatment... Maybe next paycheck...

Nice work, Joe.

Wish I'd have taken the pix indoors...so you wouldn't get the reflection off the trees. Glad you liked it.

Classy. Is that a turquoise wedge?

CA. Not sure how many layers, but probably around 10-11.
