    PS: not to mention that this stuff ain't cheap either.
    Thanks for the nice comments, guys
    Customs sure are fun, I love the one of a kind aspect of it!
    And yes, this particular one is up there with the very best of the razors I have.

    So you're the one who got this beautiful Jacques. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the ones Lynn had at the Missouri meeting. If you'll look closely, I'm sure you'll find my fingerprints all over it where I carried it around all day trying to decide whether or not SWMBO would kill me if I showed up at home with it. It's a sweet razor!

    Wow, that is impressive, you must have a really good memory!!
    You are correct, it has been shown at the Missouri meeting. A few other guys on here have told me that they too had seen it there.
    I find that pretty cool, It's kinda my SPR razor now!

    Yes, just checked. I still have pictures that I took of it with my iphone at BJ's house and again at Lynn's. Glad you're enjoying it. I'm sure Lynn cleaned my drool off of the blade before sending it to you
