Thread: My Tim Zowada Custom

A little over a year ago I contacted Tim about making a Custom Razor. I wanted something different. I had read and seen where Tim had made Bloomery Steel out of Black Sand he gathered from a beach on one of the Great Lakes in Michigan and he also had made Damascus with Meterorite. I ask Tim to make a Razor with Bloomery Steel "Timanagane" and Meteroite Tim told me he had wanted to make a razor with these two components for something but had never done it. I decided that I wanted a 6/8 with a Spanish Point and Ivory scales. Tim told me what it would cost and how long it would take to complete my razor so I began the wait. Well not long after Tim has a Motorcycle accident and Broke his ribs. I don't know if any of you have broken any ribs but it hurts terribly bad and takes a while to heal. While Tim is recovering he makes the 2H2H razors I have one of the Prototypes and it's a sweet shaving Razor. As Tim recovered from his accident he starts on my razor he send me pictures of the process if you want to see the pictures go to Tim's FACE BOOK page he documented the process there. As he gets closer to completion off this beautiful razor I ask him if he could send me pieces metal from the different steps I am making a shadow box to put them in. When I tell people how the razor was made they don't understand so now I can show them and they understand.On the 14th of Aug. FedEx delivered the Razor to me. I have had the razor for 4 days now and have shaved with it twice and if you have never shaved with a Tim Zowada Razor then you are missing out, not only can he make a Great Looking Razor that holds a edge that lasts. I now have 3 razors made by Tim and love them. I haven't had time to take any good Pictures I plan on it really soon
