I was gonna ask you about the grind. Just got done honin and shavin with it. Great razor!! Where the heck did you find the t-shirt?
Fleabay. Seller is 'patentearth' . They have wonderful Gillette patent, barber chair patent shirts as well. Seem to be nice folks.
I think he could come up with most anything he can reproduce. It takes 3 weeks to receive.
They don't start til you order. Yadda-yadda.
Like at a concert. 25 dollar t-shirt! :D
(no relation!)
I saw a brush Marfin had done a while ago that looked like this one , and I really liked the look. I was rooting through my unpacked box of wood in my basement and found a piece of Briar burl that I had started to turn, and quit because it had a substantial split in it. Well, next thing I knew I had it on the disc sander and ended up with this.

Some of you have probably seen the Marfin brush I'm talking about, it's beautiful. Something inside told me I had to try it. I think it came out pretty good. Now to sand each of these sides probably down to 1000 and hit it with some 100% Tung oil. Still gotta drill the hole yet too.

Working on new scales for a Marshes & Shepherd with a tapered blade. It looked kind of beat up at first but all the crud on the blade was actually dried oil or grease of some sort. It seems to have protected the blade from any serious rust and pitting over the years. I was happy to find an etching along the spine reading "An Excellent Razor".
fantastic work on those scales!

Matt, I have one of those.....It will knock your socks off as it gets to shaving! Great grind.
Stiffer, but not a wedge!
