I couldn't help myself...call it a little holiday cheer with a side of a new job, and some relocation happening (moving back to Ohio). Change is in the air...so I decided to reward myself with something truly unique and one-of-a-kind. Thanks to SRD for stocking this beast (albeit briefly). Here is a pic from SRD...I will post my own when it arrives next week!
Also happy to support some fellow Ohioans at SRD (I grew up in Dayton)....even if they are from that city up north....

He does some incredible work, doesn't he?
Incredible blade, can't think of a better way to treat yourself for Christmas. Enjoy it! ;)
It will be my first Sprecher, but this razor appears to be a masterpiece. Between the inlays and scales, the MOP on the spine...I mean it is kind of ridiculous/off the hook! Arrival is scheduled for Tuesday...it will be a tough wait!Quote:

All the folks that are involved with SRD are exceptional. I was fortunate enough to attend the meet in Medina, Ohio that they hosted in November. First class all the way.
You fell into a win win situation!
Congratulations and enjoy!

I have bought a number of blades from them before and couldn't agree more...it just has a little more meaning now that I am returning home after a 20 year hiatus. Having that resource but a couple of hours away will be awesome! Hope fully I will get up sooner rather than later!Quote:

Nice score there. You are in for a real treat. Enjoy.
One of my first customs was one f Max,s, I still have it, there is never anything about it that makes me want to sell. His edges are killer too, but if yours is like mine those sharp corners on both ends are something to any attention too. Great score. Tc
That's pretty darn special, there. Is that MOP laid into the spine?
It is! I can't wait to see it in person. The light background of the stock photo certainly don't do it any justice.Quote:

You are back in Ohio and certainly no longer a noob! :shrug:
Well I am still in Denver for another week...lolQuote:

I suppose you may petition to change your name to 'Denverpro'. then! :rofl2:
Pics don't do it any justice. Here are a few to enjoy.Quote:

Congratulations, that is a superb piece of artwork.
Really really nice, looked at the web site yesterday after seeing that 8/8 Tiger Coral inlay one on facebook, too late .... sold .... :-(
Maybe it's time to visit Belgium and bring along a custom for me? ;-)
S of a B, that is amazing!
Christmas came early! The kind folks at the USPS decided to show up on Saturday with razor in hand! A few pics I took this AM. Pretty amazing razor through and through. Beautiful...and pictures do it no real justice.http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/p...recher%201.jpg

Beautiful razor. Max does incredible work. They shave even better than they look, which is not easy. Use it in good health.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Good lord, that is a piece of museum-quality art-one of the most beautiful razors I've ever seen! I don't have the funds now, but someday I'd like to own one of his (and one by Bruno too).
Very nice. My bet is, with a razor like that, you fall heavily in the "tape the spine while honing" group. Lol
That would be an understatement. I might tape myself in strategic places just to be safe....lol. I tape all of my razors, though I have to admit I think this one will be touched up about as many times as possible on just 12k taped so I can minimize really taking any metal off. Shaves like a dream that's for sure!Quote:
