So,
I had Robert Williams make me a "Work Horse" razor. The toughest steel he has, S30V. In black micarta scales. 8/8 half hollow. Top and bottom jimps.
It is here. It is a work of friggen art. Exactly what I wanted.

We can't see that... sorry...
Well, that was a kick in the teeth!
I can't see it either!:rant:
C'mon, how am I supposed to work up a good case of razor envy, if I can't see any pics???
Yeah, I can't see it either.
Tease.
D'Oh. Sorry guys. I've got to figure out a way to get it posted from my e-mails. I can't access any photo hosting sites from work.
I'll give a hint. It looks like black micarta with jimps, a worked spine, 8/8 blade. :mace:

Tell me this works!!
that worked... now... I am jealous.... congrats on a great razor!
Finally a pic. :) Very nice looking razor!
Another kick in the teeth!
This time I can see it. And I'm jealous!
Congrats!
And in case anyone was wondering, it shaves REAL nice. I had gotten a close "I've got a big meeting" three plus pass BBS wednesday norning, so today didn't promise to be a good shave. It was.
I can see what Robert has said about this steel. It takes a great edge, was fantastically sharp and well honed right out of the box (he is a bit modest, I feel, about how "perfect" the edge might be when it arrives). I got a close, very, very nice shave, and cant wait to see how it handles a little more growth. It did not feel quite as smooth as the HCS blade of Robert's that I had the opportunity to shave with recently, but that's like saying your Porsche isn't as fast as your Bugatti...no, but it's still damned nice! The shave was as smooth and comfortable as the majority of my shave ready high quality razors, if not smoother. Add to that the other characteristics for which this steel is known, and I am beyond pleased.
That work horse looks like a thoroughbred to me. :) That is a beauty. I really like the way the top jimps go out to where your finger would be much of the time and the new tang stamp.
great one..Congratulations.
Looks lovely! Glad it shaves well too..! :-)
I've gotta stop looking at these posts, it just aggravates my RAD...
That is a very nice looking razor. Very nice file work and blade design. Nice heavy looking blade, I think it will mow right though a thick beard growth.
