    Default Max S Custom

    Here's a razor I had Max do for me. It's about 7/8th's and looks and feels huge. He did some beautiful file work on it, not too much, not too little, exactly what I wanted without asking. I've known Max a while, so he knows what I like. It's too nice not to share the pics. I don't see many pics of Max's work outside SOTD, which is a shame, He really does top notch work.

    It's perfect in every sense of the word. Anything that looks odd, is the photo, not the blade. Max is a perfectionist, That's why I choose him to do this for me, and anyone considering a custom would not be disappointed. Pics do not do it justice, even by Max's standards. I'm not that great of a photographer, but here it is.

    Max sure does make some damn fine looking razors, I'm sure I will one day get round to putting a design together for Max to weave his magic hands over for me.

    The razor is indeed beautiful. Tell us about the shave. As a newbie, I'd worry about the sharp points at either end of the blade.

    Ooh, that's pretty!

    Umm, Rich. There's an eyeball in that blade. You can see it in the second pic. Watch out, the enzymes can lead to rust...if the drool hasn't already.

    I hope Max is still making razors when/if I ever finish paying off med school loans.

    Yea, that is a good starter razor for you... Once you get some experience, and gain confidence I will go ahead and swap a razor for that one..... Or maybe all 50?...no? Not so much? Well, it worth a try...

    With that expertely muted point I wouldn't think there would any problem.. And the back end isn't used.. It shouldn't even be thouching your face.. Unless you have a wide face? I don't have that problem.. I have a thin face, but maybe someone with a wide face can chime in? Anyone with a face like Wilson, from the movie Castaway out there?
