If it had Olivewood scales it would be my dream razor. Beautiful work Joe. I hope in time I can stock up enough cash to get one.

It arrived today and reminded me what it felt like to be 8 years old on Christmas morning as I opened the package and unwrapped it. That was a long walk down memory lane for someone my age - thanks Joe.
I have to say that as fine as this razor looks in the photos, it really has to be held in the hand to appreciate it's true beauty. It's substantial and hefty but balances perfectly with that thumb notch - for you shooters out there it reminds me of a pistol that's designed with the grip area as high and close to the bore centerline as possible. The Hawaiian Milo scales have a gorgeous fine subtle grain and Joe's CA finish looks like it's a quarter inch deep.
I stropped it up because I just had to and it parted every hanging hair that I waved in it's general direction without a sound. I have NEVER seen a blade pass the HHT so effortlessly.
Naturally I can't wait to shave with it but I'm determined to be patient and wait until tomorrow morning. I'll have 3 days growth by then, the most I've had since I started straight shaving. SOTD report will follow but I know already what it's going to say.
Now my problem is storing it. It seems too nice to go into a wooden jar with the rest of my razors.

Yeah...I need to find a better way to "present" them than a Priority Mail box and bubble wrap. Don't know where to procure razor boxes the right size, though, and I don't know how to build them. Ah, the learning never ends.
