Anxiously awaiting arrival of my new Chandler 6/8 Wootz Wedge!
First of all, many thanks to Don and Lynn at Straight Razor Designs! I am always more than pleased with their incredibly attentive customer service and superior products.
I was lucky enough to secure one of only three seemingly rare razors made by the talented Joe Chandler--this particular razor is made of A. Pendray Wootz Damascus (6/8 wedge) with gorgeous mammoth ivory scales. From what I have learned this razor is amazing in every single way. I should have it by tomorrow afternoon, so I have been growing a nice thick beard this week to immediately mow down upon it's arrival! LOL! :medvl:
I will update this thread after my first shave to let everyone know how it performs for me. From what I discussed with Don, there should be little feedback and the whiskers should simply "run and hide!" I expect a silky smooth shave like another wedge I have used, but the Wootz Damascus should have a frighteningly sharp edge in comparison!
I will attach a picture courtesy of Straight Razor Designs, and also a couple more pictures once I have it in my hands. Thanks for checking out my thread, friends, and thanks again to Don. Feel free to post any impressions of wedge style razors any of you may own--they are quite a different breed from what I have experienced! I hope everybody has a great end of the week and weekend...
