    Wow thanks for sharing Matt.
    Would I be right in guessing "monkey tail" from DePew and "thumb notch" from CV Heljestrand?
    Could you give us some idea as to its dimensions, weight etc?
    Getting something that big to balance could not be easy.
    Congratulations.

    That sure is a beauty, congrats!

    I got one of Brian's earlier razors and I love it, I can just imagine how his work is now almost a year later....

    Thanks.
    I had Brian make the blade 7/8" since I like a larger blade, but it is still only 2.5oz / 70g; nice and substantial feeling but not too heavy.
    I actually saw this as a "modern Sheffield". I have seen all of the elements on Sheffield razors (bevelled spine, thumb notch, barbers notch) but wanted to combine my favorite elements into 1 razor. I especially like the thumb notch as I find razors with one so comfortable to hold. The tail is a little longer than the usual, but not so much as in a DePew.

    That's a wonderful blade, nice lines. Those scales are gorgeous, too. Congratulations on getting such a fine shaver!

    Truly a superb looking razor. Congratulations. I have never met a Brian Brown razor that I did not like.
