So I took a chance on an custom razor on Ebay and I...
am very satisfied with my decision.
The price matched with the design combined to lure me in. I pulled the trigger and had hope that I made a good choice.
The day the razor arrived I was sure I made a good choice, but the real test would be in the shave. I stropped and gave it a try. It is wonderful. It shaves very well.
It has a great grip for shaving and stropping. The scales are G-10 Ghost Jade. The theme of the razor was called "Frost".
Sometimes taking a chance pays off!!

Looks nice. Certain features look familiar. Who made it?

A. Garcia is about as much information as I can provide. I'm not sure it would be prudent to name the designer since he presents himself in a very modest and humble fashion.

Looks an awful lot like a copy of a Charlie Lewis (spazola). I guess imitation is the sincerest form or flattery.
A nice looking razor none the less. Be sure to let us know how it holds up after a few shaves and enjoy your new blade.pfries and Leatherstockiings like this.

That was my first thought as well, the texture of both the blade and the scales look very similar to Charlie Lewis's work but the razor has less curves than most of his razors and it doesn't have his stamp on it(at least not visibly in the pictures). Originally Posted by Leatherstockiings

Sorry but I don't get why you guys are trashing this razor. I looked at some of Charlie's razors and there are some imlarities but not exactly a knock off in my opinion. I seriously doubt if it were acquired in a shady fashion Fort woul have posted it here.
Give both the benefit of the doubt unless proved otherwise. I prefer blades without all the bling. Use the tang for identifying marks. This blade is stunning.

I don't think anyone trashed it, it was simply compared to someone else's work, and the shady deal comments were clearly an allusion to forts reticence to go into the makers details. So calm down Originally Posted by rmagnus
