I have to say. I may be stating the obvious, but not only are your razors works of art, but I note your photographic skills are really at a professional level. Nice work.

It is a little obvious-stating, but his razors make everyone jealous

Especially that C-Mon from a few weeks ago... That thing was amazing.

Thanks Jeremy. That is my first restore (I was actually lucky enough to win the SRP 'first custom restore contest' with it in January). It orginally had black scales that were cracked when I got it.

Thrills me to no end to when someone makes the connection of the gold and scarlet with the 'phoenix' as I intentionally sought out scale material (polyester pearl in this case) that would match its legendary plummage.

Seems only appropriate that a razor dubbed as such, complete its destiny and reside in the city of Phoenix. Given that's where I just so happen to live I'd be more than happy to bear the burden and give it it's rightful home. I'll PM my address immediately.
