Today I received the next to last razor I will ever buy. The last one is on order. I have too many to maintain and it is time to stop buying.
As soon as I opened the box, I lathered up and shaved with it. Very nice shave from that one inch wide blade. I think it is every bit as heavy as my Robert Williams blade. These are the two biggest razors I have and although I have other one inchers, they are not as heavy in weight as these two.
The scales are called Mokume Gane and Max's website can provide you with a description of this very unique scale material. The blade is 1095 alloy steel @RH 60. I believe the wedge is G 10.
I think this one is a keeper. Sorry about the photo quality. I still need a light box. :beer2:
