Fantastic work!
We need to make a new section! That does not belong in the 'Restoration' section, but the 'Creation' section!

Nice man, Nice! Seems like you will be getting a ton of orders now, as soon as you state "open for business"!

Great looking razor! I recognize the wood of the scales!
Hope it will hone up and shave well!Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr.

I believe that you may have created several monsters. That is a good looking blade. What grind is she?

That truly looks great.
If you're ever in need of, well eh... beta testers, count me in.
I like the idea of owning a preproduction model of what in some future might be known as "The Legendary JoshEarl Razor". Sounds like a great investment.
I mean it, though.
Good luck,
Bart.
