Thread: Decisions, Decisions

Bob Allman
OCD Razors
Honduran Rosewood scales
Razor #1: 8/8" with smooth undulating spine work, French point
Razor #2: 8/8" with smaller regimented spine work, round point

These are 2 of Bob Allman's custom razors that I'm taking for a "test drive". I've shaved with them both and WOW!!!! Not only are they fantastic looking, they both deliver awesome shaves. As I said in my SOTD Sunday, they have the heft of 8/8' razors, but they have the most wonderful delicate edges.

I shaved with razor #1 on Friday; one day's beard growth. This sexy looking razor delivered an incredibly smooth shave. My son was across the room and commented that he could hear the singing of my whiskers being cut.

Sunday morning I shaved with razor #2; two day's beard growth. This razor made light work of the beard growth. I was presentable after my second pass, but went ahead and did my usually 3rd pass - not because I needed to but because I couldn't bring myself to put this baby down!

Now comes the hard part - deciding which one of these works of art to return to Bob. I'm leaning toward keeping #1 as I just love the spine work. Decisions, decisions....

Bob, I'm sorry my amateur photography doesn't do these two ladies justice. They are stunning works of art!
