C'mon in, the water's fine. I've done a lot of funerals and have never seen a Brink's truck in any of them. You might as well enjoy spending it whilst you can.

You'll find me as Mike54, over on that one. I've not been there long, just long enough to be bitten by the bug. Another fairly new member over there is Magnus and if you look around here, you'll pick up his tracks.

Are you using Toddo over on SRP, as well?

The razor arrived and (if possible) the pictures did it no justice. It is a work of art. And, of course, you know what that means. Yessir, I'm quite shamelessly begging and pleading with Bill Ellis to restore something up for everyday use. Not the full Ellis custom deal, just something simple and solid.

However, for one who is blind, I am curious about the details of this razor. Course blindness has its benefits, in that I do not succumb to razor porn.
Trust me, if you had seen this one, you would have likely beat me to it. A mirrored, hollow ground blade, with Souvenir of Frankfurt A/M bannered around an eagle crest. Beautiful burgundy scales with a couple of gold bands and a gold inlay of a bagpiper between them. It's gorgeous, but it's going to be a display razor, as it's too good to risk in daily use.

For those that might be wondering who Bill Ellis is, or what one of his customs is like, click on the attached thumbnails. Don't drool on yourselves. And yes, that is a gemstone, inset in the blade.
