    I recently got my first KORAAT razor from Austria. It is perfect in every way and "definitely" shave ready.
    visit koraat-knives.at
    This is the most beautifully perfect razor l have..No flaws whatsoever.

    They are made from ball bearings and/or similar hard steel, forged in Solingen and then completely ground and finished in Austria.
    I designed this blade from a fantastic list/menu of options. The scales are Desert Ironwood Burl.

    Don't hesitate to check these razors out.

    There's nothing quite like the fit, finish and feel of a Koraat razor. I love my three.
    Ulrik is a fantastic person. I found him very helpful and easy to work with.
    Congratulations on a beautiful razor!!

    Thanks Pete, I guess someone will eventually start a Koraat Club. I'd like to see yours if you have photos handy...

    Congratulations, Jerry, that is one beautiful Koraat! I recently got my first Koraat, and love it as much as you do. Magnificent Koraats, Pete. I'll have to show off mine:

    I did a review of mine some time ago, and I'll maintain that this is a very unusual razor. And I enjoy the odd shave with it. It is, and probably will always be, a welcome deviation from my regular razors (6/8ths or 7/8ths wide, nimble hollow grinds). Not a daily shaver, but one that is very well made, and one that shines in the areas of craftsmanship, and finish. Nice.

    As an aside, Ulrik is one of the most pleasant people in the razor business to work with. I would like to endorse him first and foremost as a person, but also, and to no lesser degree, as a craftsman.

    Agree have had a few email chats with him and he is very honest and open about his craft and willing to help you in any way. I picked up quite a bit of information from him that proved invaluable
