    Default New Michael Waterhouse custom

    Well hat's off to you Michael you've done amazing work on this beautiful razor even though I was probably a difficult customer anyway lets get down to the spec's and the nitty gritty firstly I contacted Michael and asked him for a 7/8 with double jimping which I'm a big fan of especially when stropping I love them, second I wanted a little more hollow a grind than a quarter which fare play to Michael he even ordered another set of wheels from the USA for this grind I also wanted flecked Buffalo horn scales and Giraffe bone wedge they look stunning the fit and finish and more importantly the balance of the razor is superb, and what can I say the shave was what I expected having tested out one of Michaels earlier razors, I'm going to start a Michael Waterhouse razor club over on the straight razor place probably later today so I would appreciate any Michael Waterhouse owners to post their razors.

    I think this craftsman took your design notes and produced a sophisticated mash up of Ultra Fine Custom meets Classic Western Japanese. The blade profile is stunning, the jimping immaculate, and the wedge a jeweled touch. Superb.

    Such clean lines; an instant classic.

    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
