8/8 RW Snake Eye Damascus in Mammoth Tusk Ivory
This is the best Razor Robert has made me. Not the fanciest but this is one Classy but bold Razor. Fit and Trim is wonderful and still has that Artisan touch. The blade took and edge very fast and was not as picky as some other Damascus razors I have honed. The shape is bold and unique but feels like a glove in your hand. Balance is right on.
Scales you can not tell by the picks but are polished to a nice shine.
Pictures to not do it justice was hard to get it true beauty in the pictures. I will tell you this I took it down to the Parlor and the Wows were plenty.
Well most importantly how does shave? Well lets just say they ran and hide. No effort what so ever. Very clean cut.
Well enough blabbering here are the picks

Sigh...
My dream razor...
This is everything a razor could hope to be. Except maybe with a Spanish point

Beautiful Taz, just beautiful. 
What's on the other side of the socket screw - is it a countersunk hex nut?

Don, you are a lucky man, And Robert, what a touch you have. I am going to have to get with you and have some thing made for me. My anniversary is coming up, I think I should start dropping hints.

I really like that razor. As I looked at the pics the words "Dragon Slayer" came to mind. That looks like one wicked razor.
