You sure are one resourceful guy! I'm grinning from ear to ear now knowing that the razor you made me was forged in a turkey cooker! I guess that's the secret as to why it's my best shaving razor

That is really great! I also really like some of the blades you've made there...can't wait to see them finished up.

Excellent. The tools you use are very cool. Not what I would have thought. but nonetheless very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Bob,

You da man! Talented and gracious. Thank you for your time and for sharing your knowledge.

I can speak for Bob's work first hand, I'm working on one of his razors as we speak and it is a beauty. I can wait to get it finished and get some pics up to share.
