    Thank you for the offer but I'll settle for your opinion. After all, I really don't like grinding away at other peoples property.

    Hopefully no grinding will be necessary

    That makes me even more happy about my purchase that he just came on the forum and explained. I can't wait to get it!

    Couple more pics for perspective. I really like the contrast of the walnut scales with the maple wedge.

    Scott is making some beautiful and functional razors, and is very responsive. I am saving a few shekels to buy a semi-custom...the spalted maple scales are something I really shouldn't have seen. I hope that Scott and this company enjoy continued success. Good to have a resource such as this.

    Scott also builds a nice strop. He did this using hardware I sent him. Smooth as ice.

    I will be buying a 6/8 w/spalted maple scales as soon as I get the money.

    I'm really liking the looks of The Kraken in Ivory Acrylic.

    Well I have been working with Scott on getting a custom Hydra. Looking forward to a final decision on my part today. One of my hold ups has been the look of the scales. The toe end reminds me very much of the Hart design which I really hate. I am thinking about seeing if Scott can double pin the toe side to give it a bit more class.
