Do you or don't you point out that the huge uneven bevel really should not be there on a Brand New Custom razor, in fact shouldn't really be there on a 200 year old Sheffield either..
The the tiny little pointy neck at the pivot end probably will not hold up well when wrapped around that huge 9/8 razor.. Maybe that fancy sharp point in the Thumbnotch might hamper proper stropping regardless of how cool it looks...
That the tiny pointy tail might not make control when shaving very easy...


So do you say something or do you just follow the herd and say "Nice Looking Razor"

What do you think??

Say something. Worst case scenario he takes it personal. That isn't your fault, just means that person needs to learn to take constructive criticism. Best case scenario - you save them from becoming the next poster in our cut of the day thread because they're trying to shave with a Sweeney Todd razor. When it comes to a razor sharp object that's being used on someone's face you do them more disservice by turning a blind eye to a razor's imperfections than you do by pointing them out. I'd take hurt feelings over another scar on my face any day, I'm ugly enough as it is. YMMV
