    Default Japanese-style custom

    Anybody out there making them? I know Russel B. used to, anybody still doing it?

    Want uniform grind, for western-style honing.

    The one in the Balance thread? Funny, it was seeing that pic that reminded me to post this question!

    Did you sell it on the classifieds? I didn't see it.

    It went quick! I wanted to fund a new purchase, and didn't have the storage/counter space in my shave den for an open blade like that, so I regretably sold it.

    Still waiting for the new purchases to be delivered....

    Not surprised I didn't see it. I was really really busy that day.
    I think I might have something fun in the works.

    Don said SRD is going to be putting up a couple made by Mastro Livi in the next day or so. I've never shaved with a Japanese style razor but I've been tempted. Regular RAD is bad enough, I don't know if I want to take a chance on falling in love with those as well.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Try shooting a PM to Russel and see what he is up to.
    I thought Russel was taking some time off from razor making? Hopefully a PM wouldn't be too muc of an imposition.

    I saw the Livis on SRD. THey look amazing, but are a traditional japanese grind. I want to start with Western grind Japanese-style, and then perhas get a real Japanese razor.
