    Default Newest Purchase

    Here is my latest purchase from the one and only "Philadelph" It's a Wade and Butcher qtr hollow, 7/8ths. What's cool is, the razor showed up today just as I was getting ready to shave. The timing was perfect, as was the shave. You will never be disappointed with one of Alex's razors. He is a perfectionist and it shows in his work. He's got a customer for life. Check out the double points on the tang, pretty cool.....

    That razor I bought my wife came from Max...I have another couple from him and i love them. His attention to detail is great and he gets a wicked edge on them. It also helps that he's a great guy,, guess that's just a bonus.

    As the proud owner of two of Alex's razors I know how happy you must be with the quality. I'm so impressed I've got a third coming soon.

    Love it

    Just spent some quality time on his website and gallery. Alex seems to have an innate knack for combining very old razors with modern scale designs to come up with very original and genuinely artistic final creations. Nothing crashes, it all blends and flows, beautifully. Really stunning aesthetics.

    And all this creativity - from a bass player?!?! (kidding!!... )
