    Someone from another site contacted Brian Brown to see if he was still making razors. Apparently, he has a lot of family things that have take a priority, so he is taking a break for a while. Hopefully he will be back. I like his bellied hollow grinds, but Victor (Bluesman) produces an edge that is similar. I do like Ralf Aust razors, but his is the traditional hollow grind produced on a German two-wheel grinder.

    Hey Ray.. Thank you for the info on Brian Browns status.
    Appreciate that.. l think we had a little back and forth communication about Victor"s razors... He does fantastic work that is for sure and I'll come back and have him make .me one a little bigger and heavier+ have the blade done in the way yours is.. it's just not this time but I will before not too long... And you are right about Ralf Aust's in regards to being hollow ground... I am looking more towards a wedge..Only have one wedge in my rotation and would like to add another.. I will keep searching along and something will come up..
    Take care Ray... Scott W

    Brian Brown is one of the best grinders out there, I have a custom and a semi custom from him, geometry is spot on. Not sure if he forges or not much but stock removal he’s one of the best. He’s a home boy just east of me and I need to ride over one day soon, ( Jack Daniels is on the way). But if you get one you should like it

    Hey guys.. Thanks for your reviews and opinions on these.. I received a couple PM's from members as well and Brian Brown Razor Co I'm pleased to announce got a very favorable score...It appears I have a very limited option on getting one at the moment I am going back to his website now.. I normally dont post any pics of my razors on the forum I will certainly show his razor on here if I find one..
    Take care all, be safe,,be informed, be compliant because we all know it's not as easy out there.right now..

    Not sure if this is in the same league but I own a Portland Razor Company straight. Mine is a semi wedge with beautiful wood scales. They make customs also, you might check them out. Had a very nice shave with it this morning.
