    Outside of the Obvious customs (especially something by R. Williams... Just gorgeous... And Alex Jacques, and Livi, and Spazola, and... Dammit >.<)

    Outside of customs, I want to find a Dubl Duck at a reasonable price (Not a steal, just not these frowned out 150 dollar antique store things ), I also direly want a nice W&B of my own, 7/8+... And, of course, the list goes on and on... But my collection is small, and I am /relatively/ young, so I'll live with what I've got for now (which isn't half bad , just in need of some work)

    I'd say the thing on top of my list right now... Some Buffers and some hones, so I don't have to send out for work...

    My unicorn razor is a 7/8 or bigger Swede.
    Huuuh. I'm wearing out the HELJE keys on my keyboard.

    The Henckels with scales by John Cole was the one razor that I really had to have. So... I got it.

    Whenever Charlie starts selling razors, some of his stuff will probably be pretty high on my list.

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    I have filled most of my lists but still hunting the elusive C-MON Cadillac Razor in Vintage NOS or near condition.... I will find it...
    I was after a larger Boker, but that came in the mail yesterday as a zero hone wear Red Injun #102 at a shapely 6/8+ the best part was the $30 price tag as the scales are trashed and there is a tiny bit of rust on the blade...

    Luckily I know somebody that can make scales, and might be able to polish it out for me.

    I still enjoy the surprise razor that I get a steal on, like the nearly NOS Boker that I snagged up at $18 shipped, a little odd ball made in the USA, can't wait to get in in the the rotation with the #102...I am very curious about the feel of the steel

    I don't know what she is, but I'll know her when I see her...

    There is one that I really really want, too. Unfortunately, so does everyone else.

    I haven't been in this long enough to have that one, I want them all. That been said I would love one of the str8s any of the guys here make. Whether a long time custom builder or just a few blades in. Unfortunately that's not in the cards yet (unless someone wanted to trade for a custom fly rod.)
    Each time I look in the classifieds I have to ask my wife. She's getting a little tired of that.
