Dude you sound like sour grapes or you have an agenda. It all comes off like a competitor who is butthurt that They didn't win the award instead. Not saying you are but that's just how it comes off. Its a subjective award from a website, who cares?

I have one of Nate's razors. It is without doubt my favorite shaving tool to date. While stropping it one morning my wife's parrot Kamikazed me and I dropped it chipping the blade. I sent it back to Nate hoping he could reuse the scales. I received the razor back yesterday. Nate was able to fix the blade good as new. He only asked that I pay shipping.

I know with these award deals there are many who are worthy, but only one can win. Nate is certainly worthy of this award in my opinion.
I also agree with the choice of best strop.
The watch? No. The belt? No. The soap? No. The shoes???
