    TC, here's the description of mine copied directly from the eBay listing:

    Hand forged straight razor.

    Wide of the blade is 26 mm. approximately, lenght of the edge is 71 mm. approximately, thickness of the spine is 7,3 mm.

    The razor made from Böhler R100 carbon steel, Grenadill scales.

    Shave ready.
    Grenadilla is also known as African Blackwood - it's what top-grade clarinets and oboes are made from.

    Thanks. I see he used the word forged in his description,, so he's on eBay? Are we talking semi custom, or full on customs? I know a lot of questions I should ask him, but you guys that have them know more about the actual product than a guy selling me his product, it always sounds great coming from them. But they do look like they are well built. Tc

    I guess I would call them semi-custom, in the sense that the razors he is selling on eBay are not made to order. However, He was very quick to respond to my questions and I'm sure he would welcome inquiries about custom work. The grinds, fit, and finish are impeccable. Just do a search on eBay for Rigarazor.

    Can't help you there, all my other razors are either Sheffields or Japanese.

    As said the fit, finish and grinding are impeccable.

    I have 2 other customs.

    Compared to my Mastro Livi the fit and finish is far better, and it's on par with my Snail Forge (Bruno) razor. They are all different grinds but each grinding is outstanding. At the end of the day they all shave exceptionally well but I would have to give the nod to Rigarazor.

    Tc, I have a couple other customs. The HERR & Razors as well as Silverloaf. Two HERRs and 3 Silverloafs. As said the fit and finish is top notch. I'd say slightly better than the HERR. Not knocking Silverloaf here. I will give an opinion on the shave tomorrow. As of now, the HERR and my old Wade and Butchers are my favorite so far.


    ETA: then Castle Forbes it is Phrank
