YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!!
VERY BAD RAD this month. 2 Joe Chandler razors from Straight Razor Designs. The top is a Roundpoint 5/8 in Desert Ironwood scales- the shave is fantastic. The BIG BROWN truck just dropped off this Damascus in Snakewood Scales. NOW I HAVE TO SHAVE!!
Enjoy the RAZOR PORN

Careful, you may get hypnotized looking at that damascus pattering!
You'll awake some morning to a medicine cabinet full of JC razors and a mailbox full of credit card bills!

I don't know how he does it, but Mr. Chandler's damascus steel patterning is beautiful and unique. I've only seen that kind of pattern on his work..
Time to order one for me!
Did you buy them off of Straight Razor Designs' instock customs, or were these both special orders?

They were listed as "in stock customs" on Straight Razor Designs Website. I agree, the damascus is beautiful. Both razors are absolutely perfect in all aspects. His quality control is amazing. I have been shopping for a damascus custom for some time-and at $575.00-although an expensive razor-it is a bargain compared to some makers damascus blades.
