    Default If money was available...Which custom razor

    If you could choose only 1 and had the money to do it. Who would you go to for a custom Razor?

    Tim Zowada or Robert Williams?


    Now, I'm not sayin' I got the money or anything - but was just a thought that crossed my mind. Just curious what the comments would be...

    Honestly, I don't see the need for the "flashy" razors I've seen online. They're beautiful and amazing and all that, but I prefer something a little more "workman" than a fancy looking razor. If I could design my own razor, it would have some simple but tasteful engraving on the blade, with simple wood scales and modest embellishments in the wood. That's it. I really want a Boker Edelweiss razor because to me it's just right in that regard. The gold-wash razors look great but I'd be afraid to shave with them. I appreciate the aesthetic qualities of wear and tear, and that concept doesn't meld well with custom razors.

    Currently drooling over the Robert Williams from a recently featured shave of the day so it would have to be one of those!

    Why limit the selection to just those two makers?

    I would choose the Zowada..er, no wait, the Williams... or maybe the Ellis, but Charlies got some cool stuff too... damn! Now my head hurts.

    I would want a razor with scales that bear my SRP username. That would be so cool!

    Oh wait, I have one! Suweet! Thanks, Shutterbug John (pic is link)
