I bit the bullet and have this coming. I hope that it lives up to all of my expectations, but surely the Desert Ironwood is just beautiful. I cannot afford Tim's offerings, so hopefully getting in on the ground floor of Nate's work will prove to be rewarding in every way possible.

Yeah, just holding it feels perfect! The NKSM is very nice too but I will have to repolish the scales properly, and it feels a little smaller in my hands, but I'm sure it will shave just as nicely

Now I should block you for a while, my wallet can't take another hit! lol

Those kikuboshi razors remind me of the puma hohl.

Please post your review on the straight razor forum. His razors won an award this year and a number of us would like to hear another opinion. Me especially as I am on his notification list.

Thanks

... a couple of straights turned up today from Sweden

Bengall (Cast Steel) 11/16 Half Hollow - Sheffield, England

Dahlgren, CW 'Frisbelont' 5/8 Half Hollow (Swayback) - Eskilstuna, Sweden

Couple of nice smilers, eh?They'll need honing, so I'll pop them in the post for The Whetter to take a look at ...

... another one today

Martin & Co. (of 63 Gracechurch Street, London I presume) 6/8 Wedge ... heavy fellow!

Loads of pitting, but not on the edge which has been honed to shave ready.
