Beauty, my dear JokiJo, lies within the eye of the beholder. Luckily, I might add..

Smoothy-
I am sorry to tell you that razor was clearly made in Pakistan, and will not only dull but bring bad luck to you and your extended family. I would not get too attached to the family dog, either, as the bad spirits found within these blades is all-inclusive in its retribution.
I would like to ease your loss, so I will pay for you to ship the bad razor to me, and I will perform purging rituals and bury the blade in a Native burial ground. I will send you a Wapi to replace your Pakistani blade, out of the goodness of my heart.....

Gorgeous!

Thank you for showing such concern! I truly appreciate it! And, if it would not be for me being already under its spell, you know, I might just have taken you up on your offer, that's how moved I was by your heart-felt goodness and such kind words. Alas, I must already be clearly out of my mind, as I have decided to hold on to it and not to pass my troubles on to you.

Not too showy just right. Not too simple but still evokes class. Very much like the scale. The sharp tail is menacing feature to boot! Very nice indeed. Especially the wedge/spacer on it.

Hmm it's no wonder I've yet to see anymore at SRD for sale. I even went straight to source and according to Joe's website he won't make them just for anyone because he wants us to contact SRD.

Nice. what size is it?

**Oldengaerde** · 09-02-2009, 05:28 PM

Yes very nice! Blade shape reminiscent of small vintage Heljes, refined long tail, wedge of confined elegance, and scales that have something sporting, bold and speedy about them - like a boat actually, the bow thrust forward cleaving the waves. Thanks for the pics!

The blade is a 5/8+ and nearly 3 inch long, about 1/4 grind.

Now that is a beautiful razor! Love the French point, scales, spacer, well everything. Congratulations.

Yes, very nice, indeed. Hope you have many great shaves with it!
