194 days...
...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
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?

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

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.

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.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
