    Default A.Jacques Custom

    Just got done shaving with my Alex Jacques custom and it was all I thought it would be. Scary sharp edge ripped through 2 days growth with the greatest of ease. Smooth. Well balanced. Agile. I love this blade. Right to a permanent spot in my weekly rotation. Actually I'm gonna dedicate a whole week to this razor (I'm an everyday shaver). Alex cheers to you. Anyone having a chance to pick up one of Alex's razors I HIGHLY recommend it.

    The first time I ever saw one of Alex's scales, before he got the Bader and got the blade bug, I could see that he was a true artist. It is clear that this artist has become an artisan of razors.

    That is a beauty. Congratulations on a great looking razor.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
