What a beautiful pair of razors! I really don't think that there have ever been many razors of this high artistic quality made, even for royalty in the 1800's. You are very fortunate to have them.

Thanked: 2755 My Robert William Christ Experience
My dear, Riooso,
Looking at your beautiful Robert Williams Christmas razors, I thought of the poet Keats, who said:
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever: /Its loveliness increases; it will never / Pass into nothingness."
Imagine starting your morning with a shave from these razors. What a beautiful way to start the day.
I am in awe of Mr. Williams' work. What amazing talent.
And I share your joy with these glorious razors. Congratulations.
It's a beautiful day, indeed.
Regards,
ObieLast edited by Obie; 01-17-2010 at 06:39 PM.

i do like brutus better, but i'm not too picky
I really need to come up with a name for the French point..... hard to match a name to it. The Roman influence in the roped Barbers notch was easy. Brutus is a reference to Marcus Brutus from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. I love that play.
Take Care,
Richard

Beautiful razors! The rope spine work is amazing. The Giraffe bone looks great, too! Any particular reason for Giraffe, or just the look?

I loved the look on some of the other razors that I have seen them on and I wanted something different. They will take any color that you impart upon them, in a kinda mottled way. I left it up to Mr. Williams to give it the color or whatever he wanted to do. It was his call but I love what he did with them. They are astounding when you open the box for the first time and I can honestly say they still are!
Take Care,

Wow, those are two GREAT examples of truly "custom" razors!
I'm hoping that one day I'll have a razor made my Mr. Williams. I especially like the giraffe bone scales.
