I love his work, and would love to get my hands on one of these babies when I am well established and have a little money to blow.

You can contact me through a PM. It's been taking about 30 days to deliver on razors from the time of order, although I'm in a crunch at my day job right now and that may temporarily stretch to 40 days because I don't have as much shop time as I normally would.

I'd rather underpromise and overdeliver than go the other way around.

Great policy to overdeliver Robert - looks like you are doing this easily with the customs

Well, I'm quite overweight as it happens...

Basically I just exchanged a few PM's with Robert, batting some ideas back and forth between us until we came to a design that I liked and wasn't impossible for him to make. My initial idea was for a monster 12/8 medieval spike to rival anything Josh owns, but Robert talked me into something much more sensible and practical.

Good that he did too.

I feel you on that one. It's a work of art...there's gotta be something around here that I can shave (face is shaven)...oh look!!! A cat

Great looking razor, I have a slimilar Robert Williams that is a truly great razor.

Very nice, definitely form and function wrapped together.
