...from conception to completion. I don't have this bad boy in my hands yet, but the specs "should" be: 6/8 blade width, 2.5" blade edge length, 1/4 hollow, black horn scales (buffalo?)
It's a generous Christmas present to myself :rock:
I wish I still had a copy of the original sketch, but it's incredibly faithful to the design.
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.
:eek: ... :tu:bow:tu
is that a Zowada?:rock:
Looks like his initials on the shank and his style of craftsmanship! If ever I get a custom, it will be one of his!
WOW! Thats a real beauty!!! :tu

,,,I hate you!
:D
Beautiful! Just beautiful!!
CONGRATS!!!!! That's a real looker!!!:cry:
That is a beauty and his razors shave great. I didn't know that you could order a custom from him. The wheels are turning. :hmmm:
Actually I didn't know he did customs until after I emailed him first. I don't think it's widely known. I'm glad he does because he pulled it off beautifully!Quote:

That is a SICK looking razor. IDK why but i just love the long monkey tail on razors.
i wonder if TZ or Maestro Livi watch our boards and secretly bask in our acclamations of their work hahahaha
That is a true work of art. Congrats.
Please let us know how it shaves!!!
What he said. (Where you been man!?)Quote:

That is smokin' HOT !!!
Guess the 50" Plasma is on the back burner lol ....
Post some more pics when you get it and definitly give us an update on the shave !
Congrats :rock:
Looks like something forged in the pitts of hell! And I mean that in a good way.Its got that evil look:mace:
Congrats..
Holy smokes! That razor is awesome, and MEAN looking! It looks like it means business, and then some! I'd be afraid to meet it in a back alley somewhere...
Enjoy the shave! If your whiskers have any sense, they'd be afraid of that thing too!

Astounding! I love 1/4 grinds. That thing is drop dead beautiful!
Take Care,
Richard
Nice concept.
Nice execution.
Nice razor!:tu
I took a little hiatus to focus on my new job and some relationship issues. I should be around more often nowQuote:

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
Wicked :mace:
2.5" (~62mm) is my favorite edge length!
The great thing about a true custom is that you get to make it just the way you want.
I hope they do.Quote:
