I don't have this razor yet since it's in transit, but thought it was worth showing if Joe doesn't mind me using his pics. They don't show the gloss on the scales but the grain of the wood came through pretty well.
8/8 stainless wedge with every feature I like on an older Sheffield style blade.
* Shoulderless grind
* Smile
* Thumb notch
* Barbers notch
* Worked back
Need to start growing a nice stand of whiskers for the inaugural shave with this one.

My face doesn't deserve something that nice ---beautiful work ---- a trophy razor to hang on the wall --- I'm sure it will shave as beautifully as it looks.

Glad you like it. The wood, btw, is Hawaiian Milo wood. A real pleasure to work with. The best way I can describe it is...elegant. Fine texture, subtle grain, not too heavy, reasonably flexible. Very understated figure that I thought went very well with this razor. DMS made a good choice, methinks. Pix are getting a bit better, but still don't show everything I want to show.

I won't pat myself on the back too much (because everybody's face is different, so results may vary), but it was the best shave I've ever had, on 4 days' growth. He may think it sucks butt.

Joe it really is beautiful. I don't know why but I always like the razors with a thumb-notch if that's what you call it. In some of the W&Bs and Dovo's they are called Bismarck or something like that. Does that name have any relevance to the type of style at all?
Cheers
