Joe,

The Priority Box is just fine. My wife took mine in the house after delivery. She was standing there when I opened it. There would have been alot more questions if it had a fancy box. Luckily I just got "Do you really need another razor...you have 2."

What on earth???

Do I get this right???
There is a guy named Joe Chandler, actually still alive, producing beauties like the razor shown at the beginning of this thread???

Am I dreaming or is this a joke???

No joke -- we have craftsmen, like Joe C., living among us to produce these beautiful specimens!

Well, we have a couple of old fellas left who restrict themselves to grinding old slugs(?)/blanks(?) to new shine.
There are very few craftsmen (that I know of) here who still produce straight razors.
Mostly only on special order and I have only seen pictures of their works.

Sorry, but until a short time ago the first name that came in my mind when thinking of modern "american"-labeled straight-razors was Kriegar.

I guess not to find many people here to be proud of those?

I can categorically state for the record that this razor does not suck butt.

It shaves so well as a matter of fact that I kept thinking "wow" "holy chit" and "my other razors suck" while I was using it.

People will be talking about these razors all over the world before long. I'm proud to have one out of the first batch.

That is a sweet shaver. I would love to get one. That one your great grand kids would say, my grandpa was one bad ass.

What fine craftsmanship, very impressive!

I've got a feeling Joe may have to quit his day job. There's a lot of men on these forums drooling over these razors. (me, for one...)
