    Default Excitement!!!! Tim Zowada Custom started.

    Late last year I contatced Mr Zowada about doing a custom razor.Basic design is a Damascus steel blade with an Ebony hidden tang with white and black horn scales. Mr Zowada has had to gather the ore and make the steel. Here is the blade at a middle stage. Hardness tested to 62 HRC. Man I can't wait to see the finished piece and shave with a true craftsman piece of art.

    That should be horn scales.

    Also, it's going to be a French point.

    If that is going to be similar to the home smelted razor Tim posted in December you will be very happy. I thought it was the most impressive custom made razor I've ever seen.
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.
