Thread: Awesome gift: Getting an expensive razor, advice/help wanted!

Well just another thought here - you could buy a couple of razors and work on a 7 day set?

I found the size I liked -> started collecting them with an eye on ultimately making a little 7 day set of mixed blades, but 7 custom scales that match.

It's been fun! I have a two week set so far lol!!

Good luck - awesome issue lol. She must love you!! : )

Iwasaki razor from SRD..

Bob - fortunately there is a sister, but unfortunately, she is not so like minded! Jimmy - those are my thoughts as well. If I have the opportunity to spend the money, might as well go all out!

Thanks again for all the suggestions guys - I think it will take me a few days yet to decide what I'm actually going to do!!

So here's what I'm thinking guys. Keep in mind, after this I'll still have a bit of money to spend on some other things (I got a lot of money to burn!). I'll probably get a strop from SRD, a Thater brush, and maybe another razor from the classifieds. But as my primary purchase, I think I'm going to go with a Robert Williams. Here's what I'm thinking, and I'd like some input on these:

6/8
half hollow
French point
small thumbnotch with jimps
snakewood scales

Of course Robert would excersize his artistic skill, but as a very very rough idea, I've attached a frankenstein picture. So let me know what you guys think, especially on the 6/8 and the half hollow. And let's see if I can attach a photo here!
