I just heard from my father that he wants to buy me a custom razor for my birthday. I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about what I would want for my ideal custom razor. I have a lot of designs drawn up, but I have no idea who I would want to create my dream. I have limited myself to certain makers partially for price, but also for how long their lists are.
I won't say who I have decided for or against, but if any of you are willing to share your experiences with some of the makers. Also I am asking just in case I don't know of all of them.
I ask for many reasons, but mostly because I cannot afford to do it again if I dislike it, but also I am still very new to honing and cannot fix the mistakes of a maker who has no trouble honing a warp or any other imperfection.
If this question is inappropriate please feel free to delete this thread, but I ask this here because I feel this is the only place that I can get honest opinions/experiences. I also understand that each is only one person's opinion and as such should not be construed as the way that it is.
If someone feels the need to, please feel free to contact me via email through the site.
I also want to know of your opinions regarding newer steels, styles and comfort in grip/tang styles.
