Thanked: 8Crikey Bill,
I'm glad we don't have to shave with Eaton's blades, we'd all be in the poor house. Beautiful work, though but a bit over the top for my taste.
Back on subject, Vlad's work is super, there again don't underestimate yourself, your knives and custome blade's are WORLDCLASS without doubt. There is great beauty in nature and simplicity and your work has those qualities and merrits whereas others tend to go overboard with too much work and detail.
Benchmarks are great to measure against but the benchmarks from some of you are very stratospheric indeed. We have a long way to go. Keep up the great work and offerings.

I want to add at this point that Vlad's work really serves to do more than just show what is possible when attempting to return what is obviously a worthy razor to a state in which it's ready for use and/or display. His efforts clearly demonstrate that comprehensive razor restoration is realistic, and his work emphasizes the notion that antique and vintage straight razors really should be brought back to life.
