Thread: What razor to get for my husband

Is anyone else bothered by the irregularities in the spine and tail? It looks like the stuff I have done and I expect better.

Guess it's a matter of taste. I personally do like irregulatities that bring out the "handmade factor", but I'll agree, on this one it could have been a bit more subtle. Not that I'm particularly bothered... What caught my eye immediately was the twist, the smile and the fantastic job on the scales.

Are you talking about the texture? If so I asked for it that way. I guess it is an issue of taste. We have many things in our house that are make out of old railroad ties and old railroad spikes. We have knives, bottle openers etc made out of old spikes that all kind of have that texture to it. My hubs love rustic forged items so when I saw that Mr.Stark made razors that had that aesthetic I knew it was perfect. I got the idea for the twist from a railroad spike that we use to shuck oysters. I can see why many people would not like it but I feel confident it will be a hit. But, yes I asked for it to be "highly textured."
