I have a deep passion for the history of Barbering, and traditional straight razor shaving. I started restoring razors,strops,shears, and other related items because I didn’t want to pay high prices for modern straights that could use more stone work and craftsmanship. So I purchased an ole’ “Wester Bros” and figured it out. I didn’t watch videos, or join forums, I just learned by trial and error. I found some mentors and asked many questions,and tried many ways to make an already timeless well crafted tool better than it was originally. I do not believe that a shiny razor makes a good razor, nor does patina make a bad razor. When something is over 100yrs old it has earned the right to be respected as it stands. Some razors I will make look new and others old, but they all as with all items I restore,refurbish,resto-mod get treated with love and respect.I HONE ALL RAZORS AT TIME OF PURCHASE,it gives me more free time, and allows me to offer a variety of edges to customers.

Excellent old Coticule, that im looking forward to using. This was packaged so we'll it would have survived if thrown off a truck. Adam once again delivered an awesome stone just as described, and I couldn't be any happier. Shipping took a little longer this time, but that was all on USPS, and had nothing to do with Adam. All in all it was an excellent value for my money, and I will continue to do business with Adam.....thank you sir!

Item arrived very well-packaged for transit and as described in auction listing. Shipping costs were very reasonable and the seller include some "extra goodies" that were not expected. Exceptional after-sale value by the seller! Communication was exceptional as well. Will definitely do more business with this eBayer. You should, too!

Very happy with my purchase. Not only is it a beautiful custom, but the performance was excellent as well. Definitely can trust this sellers honing /sharpening abilities and that the razor will indeed arrive shave ready. Packaging was one of the best I’ve seen, great overall presentation that represents the sellers care for his work. Fast shipping, as described and good value. Would definitely feel comfortable purchasing from this seller again. Quality work.

This gentleman is a superb seller. The strop I bought was in excellent condition, really immaculate. I was also given some advice, by the seller, on how to replenish and restore old leather. The packaging was incredible. It arrived on a day when the heavens had opened like a biblical flood; the package was literally soaked but it was so well and carefully wrapped that the water didn't get to the leather strop! The strop was also sent flat packed! Brilliant.
