    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?

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

    In that case, this is another viable option. Bill's also be coming up with some pretty nice ones.

    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

    It seems that no matter how many razors
    you have - your collection is always "missing"
    something. The desire for more will only
    be cured by death.

    Livi will wait for you Ilija......hahahahahaha......you can even have the handle material, handle shape and blade shape and width you desire along with your choice of either ATS 34 or Damascus (Damasteel).

    Oh yeah Bill, Sta-Sharp blades made for Craftsman in the pearlex handles......bootiful set.....poifect for one of Vlad's boxes. He has made me a box for both a matched set of Ivory handled Mappin & Webb's and for a matched set of Wade & Butcher Aristocrats with elongated monkey tails.

    Have fun.
