As I mentioned, Sergej was very helpful, told me what I'd need to refresh when the time came, and included the tape he used as well.

Behold, Pranky will be getting to this Choppa next week sometime!!!!

A very nice looking lump steel Andrew I'll be interested to hear how the razor shaves, the finish looks very good from what I can see off the photo's I very much like the lovely slender scales and the wedge correctly tapered as they should be.

I think I'm in the queue with Sergej as well, waiting on him to get in some black and white streaked horn to make mine. If they shave half as good as they look we'll be in fine shape.

Well I've had two shaves with this razor, and it is spectacular.

The razor is made from Tungsten Carbon steel, hardness of the blade is 63HRC. It is 9/8 +, or 29.5mm of big and bad!!

As you can see, it is a stunning looking razor, reminiscent of the W&B Ottoman & Egyptian Royal Windsor razor, and the Tungsten Carbon steel felt virtually identical to my Sheffield blades. The blade was sharp, shave ready easily, hollow ground perfectly, and was an absolute pleasure to shave with.

Sergej was great with communication, the razor came exceptionally well packaged. I had asked whether I should use tape when refreshing the razor, he informed me one layer of tape, and sent along an unopened package of the exact tape he used.



I would highly recommend these razors, the feel of the steel on the face, closest I've come to that Sheffield steel feel, hollow ground to perfection, and was an effortless BBS shave.

Here's yesterday's Shave of the Day, which I will be posting today, have already had todays shave with the razor again, and bliss has been achieved!

Glad you are liking that new chopper phrank! Looks killer.
Enjoy the shaves..

That's great to know Andrew. It looks nice! I have seen some of the auctions go cheap. I hope that is how you got yours.

Thanks Andrew!

I've been watching these Riga razors on the Bay and wondered...
Now with this... I might just need to...
Keep the ever-burning RAD in control...
Glad you like this one. The shape is indeed great.
Enjoy it!

Saw that one, gather it's his "Art Piece"....there were 8 or 9 razors in his listing the last week or two...think he mentioned he has some new one's coming, and as he told me, he does quite a lot of custom orders as well.
