I'd say get about five more good shave ready vintage Razors in varying shapes and grinds, leave the custom work for when you really know what you like.

I'm not 100% on the type of steel but he double-tempers them (a page out of Filly's book lol) to your specs on a scale from Zeepk to 63-64HRC.. I'd choose the latter, ofcourse

Vlad is another great option. He works magic with W&B restorations. I thought he was keeping it on the down-low these days and focusing on his job? Originally Posted by urleebird

Vlad is currently making me an awesome box for a set of Mint Craftsman Razors.

Why buy only one? The vintage razors from
Lynn, Bill and Joe average about $50.00 each.
Get FIVE razors instead!!........
More bang for your buck so to speak!!
Have fun searching no matter what route
you go.

I've been getting e-bay specials and working on them myself, thus spending $10 a pop. Now that I have a decent rotation going, I'd rather focus on really nice ones, like a Bill Ellis' Big Dipper, Robert Williams' Spanyard or an olivewood-scaled Lido Livi.
However I'll have a custom job from every SRP member that makes'em before I even consider a Livi, unless Lido and Luca decide to join and contribute
