Oh, and I think Slasher would make a great name for a cyborg!

I tape. I don't have it in my hand nor have anything with that interesting spine configuration. That's all. Not exactly sure where I'd begin/end the tape on the heel side. That's all.

Very unique razor!

I bet it shaves like a dream.

It's funny you say that, today i took the razor to a friend who's a car electrician to ask him to order me a hex for my razor.
Bear in mind they are not into straights, and it was evident.
I took it out of the case and when he saw it he was like what the hell is that,to be honest he looked a bit freaked out at the thought of putting that thing to your face,it did however make me smile.
You just don't realize how scary some people think razors are and would not dare use one.

It is amazing how people are so afraid to put a straight razor to their face thinking they'll slice their throat with it. I wouldn't be afraid to put it to my face.
That is indeed a very nice razor, another masterpiece well done! I would be honored to own such a gorgeous razor!!!

Great reading your story on the razor.
Working with Max is something to look forward to and the conversations with him during the design review make the experience a true joy.
The point you make about it being a tool is very true and the fact that you will be using this work of art is a credit to both the skills of Max and your passion for a great shave with a straight blade.
Enjoy the razor.

Stunning blade. I have one of Max's and it gives a fantastic shave even if the point scares the heck out of me every time I use it.
