    Why else would his name and that of Henckels be upon the same razor?

    RezDog, those were some nice new scales you made a few pages back. Feels good to get them done and put together, don't it?
    Eric, nice work on the Special. I'm enjoying watching your W&B Special collection grow and prosper. Enjoy the shave!
