Not yet.She sort of reminds me of the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost.

WOW! I'm seriously impressed. God is in the details as they say. The wax stamp is a touch of class, well cool.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it after its maiden voyage.

You are very welcome.Sheffield steel so its quality material.I'm looking into having an 11/8 smiling wedge with barbers notch made next year.

edit: found scale

How much does it weigh? My Revisor 5/8 is 37,67 gram and my cheap Titan 6/8ish with wood scales 66,62 gram and my 4/8 Biedermeier is 27,65 gram!

How much does it weigh? I think my Revisor 5/8 is 36 gram and my cheap Titan 6/8ish with wood scales is 72 gram! (not 100% sure, seem to have misplaced my scale)

Not sure but its a nice weight.

Is Ed forming the blade by forging or like Mastro Livi relying on a grinder?

 

[EdBrice]

Hi Nisse razors are made in two ways, the first is forging (wacking hot steel on a anvil) to get the basic razor shape then grinding on a grinder to finish.
And the second is what's called stock removal , which is cutting the shape out of a billet of steel then grinding to finish.
I have made Razors both ways but prefer stock removal cheers Ed.

Mastro Livi: custom blade, a lot of work, a lot...

 

[Nisse]

I like the way he is proudly showing the the way to handle rejects

 

[pugh-the-special-one]

Old Livi wouldn't make the Olympic team for honing that I'm certain of.

Any comments from owners regarding the shavereadyness of a blade honed by the Man would be interesting to read
