Default Mutha of all snakes - and a few others!

Thought I would show off a few reptile themed razors - including the mastro 'anaconda' a name I feel is befitting a beast of this proportions! The tan coloured razor is a 6/8 cobalt magnetic by W&R. Case & Sons, Bradford, PA. The cream and dark green shoulderless 6/8 is a L.Herder & Sons of Germany. A few of you will recognise Buddels Kobra scale work - practically inch wide Kobra rasiermesser and the anaconda - a full inch wide ATS 34 with snakewood scales by Mastro Livi. I thought Buddels snake was big (ooh er misses) but I may need a support crew to shave with the mastros boa! It has just arrived and so I can't say how it works but can't wait to try it. It feels heavy but well balanced and the long tail I asked for seems to work well for my hand span.

cheers
Stephen
