Santa Claus Zowada arrived late for Christmas (but arrived nonetheless)

I ordered this from Tim about 6 months ago and he just sent me the photo of the blade and rendering together (Tim made the rendering based on characteristics that I wanted). It will be ready tomorrow! Great pre new years gift!

It is a 7/8 shoulderless with barbers notch, extended tail, jimps and rounded shank, thumb notch, and custom filework on the spine. The scales will be exhibition grade mammoth ivory (Tim said it is gorgeous) - I can't remember if it is bark or not. I will post pics when I get it.

THis is my 3rd Zowada and cannot wait for the hat trick!

Beautiful blade! I'm a big fan of Tim's work too. Please post pictures when you get the completed razor.:y

Absolutely amazing! My TZ is hands down my finest shaving razor. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Congrats!!! That looks awesome. I can't wait for you to post pics.

Wow! That is really pretty pattern welded steel! Love the look of the razor with the baber notch and the shoulderless shank...great design - I'm sure it will shave like a dream!

Congrats,

Mark

Love the balance created by the long tail. It's going to be proper razor porn!

The blade design is almost exactly like a Herbert Wacker I honed recently, that thing was beautiful and so is this one, well done!

The blade looks nothing like the drawing. The barber's notch doesn't match, the pivot hole is bigger, the monkey tail is curved differently, and the whole thing has all those wavy lines on it!

Go ahead and send that one to me and tell him to try again.

I'm going to say the same is true about the next one, not yet begun, so I'll save you the heartache and take that one. Third time is a charm.

Well... I wasn't going to say anything, but if you look closely, you'll notice that on the drawing, the edge protrudes a ahri further than the spine, but on the razor it is the other way around.

Were you able to actually collaborate with Mr. Zowada on this razor? I thought his stuff was only available through Classic Shaving.
