    I think regardless of the custom specs the person who makes it would leave their own style imprint.
    So figure out whose custom razors are closer to what you want and contact those people if they take this kind of work. As you have found out not everybody does, but I think you need to be a bit more targeted than you currently are.

    Yes, you are right.
    I love the works of Charlie Lewis and especially the primitive ones. I would like to make a one-piece (Japanese-like) primitive straight razor with some particular decorations on it.
    I have contacted Charlie but unfortunately he cannot take a custom order at the moment.

    I carefully check the works of the smiths that the members propose in this thread. When I find the one that makes razors close to what I want I will contact him to ask for my particular custom.

    Thank you all for the answers!

    Gabor Buddel in Germany makes fantastic razors and does custom orders.

    There's also the custom knife maker Michael Waterhouse from the UK, he sent me one of his razors and asked me for some feedback I was so impressed with the razor and the quality of Michael's work I have one on order from him so there's another for you and I'm sure Michael will take a custom order drop him a PM. http://straightrazorpalace.com/members/mikew.html

    I really like the looks of that razor. To my eyes it is just about perfect.
