So just ordered my first custom razor.
Now to just wait until it's actually done and on my way to me. They said it would be about two months, so looks like I'll be unwrapping it at Christmas.
Doesn't the waiting game just suck?

What brand of razor did you order? Did you order any of the other needed hardware to go with it, including a strop and hone?
I already have all that. I've been shaving for a while.
But like I said first CUSTOM razor.
As for what brand I'm sure some of you will know.
Lol but lets play the game you guess and I'll make you annoyed cuz I won't say anything;)
Lol I'll see what some people guess before I answer.

Couldn't you just tell us...pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssse eeee?
Well it can't be a Williams because that would be too quick...

Did you purchase Del1r1um's shark razor?
I didn't know he had finishe that one.
Where's the finished pics? I was interested to see how it turned out.
It could be... a Buddel-razor!
Maybe he will have it finished in a couple of months? You still didn't answer the question :DQuote:

I don't know any Martin;)
But I feel you on the waiting thing.
I'm still months away from receiving my RW custom. I was fortunate enough to be placed in the queue in May...:beer2:
But I'll tell you this; If it is a Buddel, as someone suggested, I'll bet you are in for a treat! They sure look nice, the one's I have seen:)
No not a buddel. But they do look beautiful.
I guess I should say that it's not a complete custom. I'm just getting scales and grind and what not the way I want. The blanks are already made.
Hmmm. Okey, I'll try one more: Mastro Livi?
Man, I am hoping it is, 'cause I love mine:)
+1 on buddel, love those lines. A strong influence on me.
Waiting does suck. I'm waiting on my razor to return from being honed, it drives me nuts each day when the US Mail doesn't deliver it. I may have to buy a set of stones and learn how to hone a razor. Even though I know for certain when it does get here it'll be perfection, the wait can drive you crazy.

I sent out 5 razors to get honed in may. I'm still waiting for them back.....Quote:

Yes it's frustrating.
And ding ding ding we have a winner.
Im getting a grelot made with ivory scales. My dream razor come true.
I was thinking about getting my name engraved into the tang or a scalloped spine. But I just the plain and simple beauty of the blade.
I figure I'll get a custom made leather roll and store them all pretty. The three muskateers. Lol
I knew it!!! I still have not purchased a Le Grelot yet, but it is definitely on my list.
I know you will be posting pictures when you get it. Looking forward to seeing it.
Haha yeah I've been talking bout getting one since I first laid eyes on a grelot. And even more so since I had my first shave with one.Quote:
