IZ6 did it come with a coffin/razor box?
IZ6 did it come with a coffin/razor box?
I see that all of their razors are 1/4 hollow. I am looking for my first SE, and the recommendation from Lynn I believe is a 6/8 full hollow. Any thoughts on whether these look like good first razors? Is the hollow a big deal?
Comes with a very heavy duty cardboard box designed to hold the razor.Quote:

Just bookmarked the site and emailed to my wife. She is always wanting to know what I want for Christmas. I think ivory and the black scales look the best.
Thanks lz6. I'll do that. Perhaps these nice looking razors will be for when I've settled in.

In any case, welcome to straight shaving. I hope you stick with it and have a fun time with it!

Just found these guys, those are some good looking razors.
I like the fact a new American made razor is out there & affordable at that. I like the looks of them even though the heel is a bit different but still a beautiful piece of work. The Kraken would be a choice I would like. I really love the look of the spalted maple scales I saw on the website, very good looking razor!
Great work Scott
