Josh earl custom.
Hi guys, i just wanted to share with all of you my favourite razor, even though it is not my daily shaver it is my most loved shaving posession and my best peformer.
Its shorter than a regular blade making it very easy to move around the face, it is carbon steel 62-63 hardness.i could say leans more towards the wedge side of razors.
The construction of the razor is top notch, i think josh did a great job with this razor, i know he has a bright future in the razor world.
Thanks josh for this beautifull tool, i really enjoy it and apreciate it.

JoshEarl does amazing work. He's doing a period (almost) restoration on a razor for me. (Actually, it's finished and the postman should bring it tomorrow.) I am so excited! I've owned a JE custom restoration before and the quality is top of the line. I'm waiting for the day I can buy one of his own blades. (I am so jealous of you!)

I especially like the rounded-French (oblique) point...very stylish!
Just out of curiosity, what kind of wood are the scales made out of, and what finish is used - they're absolutely gorgeous!

That's a sharp looking razor (no pun intended)! Cool hamon too.
I'm gonna guess the wood is bocote.

Sergio gave me the opportunity to shave with that one for about a week, and it was as good as any that I have ever used. Great work Josh  |

I am in awe of the skill that some of the guys you have in the USA show when they make razors. That is another one that I would love to own. Truly superb work.
Its true! The rad is incurable .Paul |

I own a custom acid-etched JE razor and it is awesome - I absolutely love it! It mows down the whiskers. He does have a great future and he runs his business in a great manner. One week after I received my razor, I accidentally nicked the edge on the sink faucet and Josh said to send it back to him and he repaired it for free. That is service, especially when I caused the problem.
He has always been very responsive and helpful!
That is a great razor you have and I would like to have him make me another one!

I've done business with Josh, too. (I'm on my second project with him.) And he is always top notch!
By the way...I absolutely drool over his acid-etched razors. I want one so badly! (There was an AWESOME custom acid-etched spike point in the BST forum a while ago. It's my dream razor! Too bad I won't afford one for a long, long time.)

Hey, guys, thanks for all the kind words. I've been slacking on razor stuff lately, trying to get caught up with some of my other freelance work while I wait for my long overdue "real" forge to arrive... (I'm hoping to get it next week, ending about three months of torture...) Once I get it, I'm hoping to be back to banging razors out at a good clip.
This razor has a zebrawood handle, finished in poured epoxy. The blade is forged carbon steel, differentially treated and polished to bring out the hamon.
You guys are great--I've never had a sour transaction with my SRP brethren.
Have a great day,
Josh |

I really like the solid look of the scales + zebrano is my favourite wood look-wise.
Nice job!

I want more
This razor really does look great. I would love to see more of Mr. Earl's work. Does he have a website? Google did not provide it.
Thanks,
Zack
