    Default FS: Robert Williams Custom

    SOLD


    Of course,my poor quality pictures don't do this beautiful razor justice. I want to sell it because I find I like smaller, lighter razors . . .

    Description:

    • 13/16" quarter hollow, Spanish point, shoulder-less blade
    • Kudu horn scales
    • Mirror polish
    • Diamond, scalloped spine
    • Brass spacer
    • Bottom jimps


    Things to note:

    • It is as I received it from Robert, except that I refreshed it once with about 50 laps on a coticule and 100 laps on a Chinese 12K. There is no visible hone wear.
    • The blade is not perfectly centered, but it does not contact either scale.
    • The box was broken at one end in shipping. You can see the broken end on the right in the second photo.


    Price:
    $390, including shipping within the US

    Kudu horn is very beautiful. I've seen it used for custom shaving brushes as well.
