Thread: Thanks Alex.....a.k.a.......Philadelph

Just wanted to say Thanks to Alex.

This Le Grelot blade deserved much finer scales than the mis-aligned, very ordinary "Pink Ivory" scales it originally came with from TI.

Alex generously agreed to rescale the blade with Paua shell from New Zealand.

This is the shell material that PRS Guitars uses for the inlays on their ultra high-end Artist Package and Private Stock guitars and is extremely colorful versus abalone.

The turnaround was lighting fast. I have no idea how such a beautiful set of scales can be made so quickly, but it's Black Magic as far as I'm concerned.

I received the razor yesterday and the scales he crafted are absolutely flawless.

The design is simple yet elegant with perfect symmetry, dead-on alignment and action that is as smooth as buttah.

This will be a razor to enjoy for a very, very long time. Maybe if either of my daughters have sons I'll even have someone to pass it on to.

Thanks Alex........Beautiful work!
