Hey I have a JC custom on order.. I'll be surprised if it outperforms the top 3 in my rotation (those 3 cost me a grand total of about $60 which includes shipping one of them from the UK and te other from the USA). While I still expect it to be a great shaver, the reason I am getting it is that it will be made absolutely to my specifications. Unusual size, unusual file-work, non-standard scale material and the monkey-tail. In addition to that, Joe does amazing work and I'd like to support the artist. Fortunately I got on the bandwagon before he became too famous :D
