Without question, the wait was worth it. I love the work shown here, from the steel with the coral to the scales it is truly a Maxterpiece.

Love it! The coral is a neat idea.
Congratulations. It is a Maxterpiece!
"DETAILS"!!!
That is a gorgeous razor!
I can only wish that I had been the recipient. Shapes, colors, and details all are of a piece and no one thing stands head and shoulders above the rest. As each element caught my eye, another element would move the gaze to itself leaving a visual connection between. I have enjoyed Max's work over the years. This is a whole new world!

Precision and design par excellence ! :bow
Wow!! Just amazing to say the least.
That is a work of art
Aloha!
Sprecher razors are truly works of art. This is the art of shaving eye candy of the very higest degree to my eyes.
Congrats on the great acquisition. Enjoy. I'm sure you will.
PS - GREAT photos!
Mahalo!

Well, I would like the manufacturer to reassure me that no sea life was endangered in the making of this razor! :shrug:
Enjoy, Bob. It is a beautiful razor. I absolutely love mine!
Coral is a renewable resource if harvested responsibly.Quote:

A gorgeous shaving instrument! Love that top-down photo showing the precision of the coral inserts and the sharp jimping. Ooh-la-la! Shaving bliss is imminent. :)
Not so much in our era of massive coral bleaching and die-offs in excessively warm, acidic water in which it can't rebuild its structure.Quote:

We could start another thread about this.....Quote:

I think that you brought up a good point. [On purpose or not?]
That is why I mentioned starting another thread.
If anyone wants to start another thread about the coral reefs PM me and we can start another discussion.

Bob if Max is still putting his killer edges on his razors like mine had,, you wont need any hone work,, to this day I don't believe ive had a finer edge, plus Max,s grind is one of the best enjoy , Tc
Yeah, not to detract from Max's incredible craftsmanship at ALL! Just responding to another post about coral. Honestly, none of us can judge. Many on here have used "natural materials" one way or another, including me. Hey, I have an entire rifle cabinet (now a converted china cabinet, but that's another story) made out of hand-picked Honduras Mahogany that is now under CITES treaty. And many of our members have made some beautiful works out of pre-ban ivory-remember Bill/Pixelfixed's incredible brushes and his lovable rants about the ban? Some of the rosewood, ebony and other tropical hardwoods I use are undoubtedly also endangered from over-harvesting (even if I got them from a woodworker friend's cut-offs that were decades old).
We all have an impact on this world in both big and small ways-no getting around it.
Bottom line-kudos to Max for another gorgeous creation. If I hadn't spent all my play money recently, I was very tempted by the recent secondhand "Sonora" razor of his that came up in our BST for an unreal price. I would love to have one of his blades in Paua abalone scales with the MOP inlays.
Enjoy that beautiful razor!
