My air mattress got a hole in it last night. I woke up with my head and feet askew. I am in a better mood now.Last edited by Mephisto; 03-25-2013 at 05:45 PM. Reason: askew not skew?

I just received this razor from Glen while at the razor meet in Yakima. Had the pleasure of watching him hone it for me. I had seen what Glen can do with razors and I was happy to get him to restore this for me, what he can do with horn is amazing, I'm glad he talked me into using it!! I found this razor on the bay and fell in love with the geometry of the blade, it looked like a answer to getting some of my problem areas. It didn't disappoint!! I now have a hands down favorite razor! I had a great time in Yakima, met some great people and enjoyed some great hospitality! BTW, I was having trouble deciding between horn and bone scales, Glen used a bone wedge, so I got both!!
