Yep, Joe Chandler indeed - I quite like the nifty JC logo Joe is using these days. I don't think I need to say that the shave is excellent - as far as I understand practically all custom made razors provide that. It certainly is in my top few razors and on this level picking one to be well above the rest is just not realistic. Plus I need more than a single shave to get to know a razor
You may have noticed that the recent Chandlers have a bit longer shank - I think it is aesthetically more pleasing, but it certainly makes it different from my other razors, so I'm not quite set on the grip that will work best.
Also I haven't tweaked the edge at all - Joe has honed it great and even if later I may tune it a tad better to my tastes it's subtle differences we're talking here.
Now this is starting to look more like a review and I mostly wanted to just show off
And for those who can't live without one - keep refreshing SRD, sooner or later there will be more Chandlers there, or you can go the 'custom design' way.
