How would you order a Zowada?
Spanish point? Round point? Square Sculpted spine?
Wood or exotic?

Zowada Dreaming

You can only order a Tim Zowada razor through Classic Shaving. I made enquiries recently about getting one. Be aware that the wait is about a year.
I'm getting a 6/8, shoulderless, French point with Mammoth ivory scales from Gabor Buddel.

I'd have him make a 11/16 sculpted spine, shoulderless with Abalone scales.
But then, for that amount of money, I'd probably look into a minty vintage 7-day set.

If it were me:
7/8 Damascus
SMILING spine but no spine work
TZ Barbers Notch
Sway-Back
Sweeping Tail
In Ebony
This dreaming idea is just the thing for a busy monday, mine would be...
Full hollow, damascus, 11/16 w/shoulder and classic lines, square point, jimps on top and bottom, with a longish tang.
Edit: more dreaming... White clean mamouth ivory scales please

What do you fella's think of the size of the bevel on that blade? if i had my choice i'd like one a little smaller... perhaps im still dreaming
There was a Zowada on ebay today that got snapped up for a Buy It Now of $699. It was a 6/8 in black horn scales.
Man, those are beautiful! Someone forgive my ignorance...I'm new to this. Why do the blades have, for lack of a better term, a wood grain effect?
Those are individual layers of steel. My kitchen knives are like that. Called Damascus style steel. Google it.
Yeah, It had a reserve and a Buy It Now. I bid up to US$511 and didn't meet the reserve. I wanted to know what grind the blade was as the seller hadn't listed it so I sent a question but someone bought it before I got and answer.

I know. That's crazy sauce - appx one year wait.
Tell us ... how much did that beauty Buddel run you? More than a zowada?

That layers of steel brother. O-1 and L-6 heated and hammered together cave man style.
Got it, beautiful stuff. Maybe if I can't afford a razor made out of it, I can get a spoon or two.

Lets just say that it's an expensive razor but not as expensive as what a similar spec Zowada was going to cost me.
What would it be? Let's dream...
Shoulderless yes. French point. Killer Horn scales. 7/8 would be perfect!
