Hmmm...That's certainly an option(s). I am not too crazy about horn, but ebony maybe. I am going to show my wife Max' website and we'll brainstorm about for ideas together. Of those options I will have Max also chime in with his ideas (after all, he's got a pretty good knack for this )

that's right. Speake with Max about the options. He might could have the optional idea.
You know, I love wood an rescale often with wood and screws.

No actually they are quite good,,, The Special and the HF are my two favorites of their line up ATM, but all of the vintage ones are shavers...
