Just got this from SRD. Its a Charlie Lewis custom 8/8 in Bocote Scales.
Functional art! Some amazing craftsmen here and abroad turning out beautiful razors that give you a great shave! Love it.
I love the tail on these razors. Must be a job to hone.
LOVE it!!
I have a similar one from him and it is so much fun to hold!
It just hugs your fingers.

just shaved today with this bad boy... and I must say, for how aggressive this blade looks.....it shaves like a dream. The smile in the blade hugs the valleys of my neck perfect. I had to pay special attention to the tip, if i took my eyes off it for a sec, it would have gladly dug a hole in my cheek without remorse. Over all, I love it. It earned a permanent spot in my 8/8, 7 day set.
What a beauty!
Congrats!

So you are the goober that got my razor. I looked at it, went away, looked at it again, listed a couple things for sale, went to get it and it was gone. You snooz you loose.
Very pretty piece of steel! Congratulations!
Beautiful razor. I've shaved with a couple of Charlie's framebacks and they are superb in fit, finish and performance. :tu
Thanks for bringing Charlie Lewis to my attention. There are a lot of craftsmen out there I wouldn't know about but for this forum. I wonder if you have honed or touched up the edge yet? Looks like you'll have to pay careful attention to making a consistent semi circular stroke--or is there some other technique people use to hone a razor with a curved blade.
Nice!
Thats a real looker, glad you like the shaves..! :tu
