Pretty interesting, this is certainly an original design. You say that you do not have the razor with you. Could you please describe the process? I mean, did you make it? etc?
Al raz.

Looks like his initials on the shank and his style of craftsmanship! If ever I get a custom, it will be one of his!

Anyway....I absolutely LOVE that type of blade. I'm not a huge fan of the monkey tail, but the "grain" (?) of the metal for the blade is really something to look at.
Plus...I kinda got a thing for French Points.

I took a little hiatus to focus on my new job and some relationship issues. I should be around more often now Originally Posted by kasperitis

I was definately going for an aggressive/streamlined look. Turned out pretty well in my mind
It's the culmination of what I find works best for me. French point for precision, shoulderless for comfort and maneuverability, 6/8 to show off that beautiful steel, a short blade edge for extra control, the monkey tail so i can get an extra finger on there (and for looks haha)
When you break it down there's nothing really out of the ordinary, but you put it all together, then you got something.
Tim was kind enough to email my original sketch

194 days is the time it took from the day I put pen to paper and sketched it out and sent the design to Tim, up till today when I received confirmation of its final completion. (a tad longer than the expected 8 weeks but who's counting
) It's currently enroute to ClassicShaving before being passed on to me.
