Agreed. I have three Triads and love them but with Toby pulling back on production they are very hard to come by. The wait list is not for customs but inventory which doesn't allow full flexibility. Still great handles, but elusive.

These look pretty good and Andrew was very responsive during exchanges.

Here's an image from Matsilainen SOTD, which looks great:

I tried to get on the wait list but for some reason when I tried an error kept coming up so I just said forget it. I think I have the last custom Toby made so I'll settle for that Smile And the Windrose looks pretty good. I'm hoping it will be here in the next day or so. etsy has terrible tracking.

So when I got home there was a nice little package from London. I'll take pics when I get a chance but it looks really nice. Knurling could be a little deeper and there It's a little uneven in some spots but you have to look close.

HuckKing723 and kwsher, looks like we share a similar taste in handle styles! Andrew has them up on eBay, too. I can’t remember his username, but just search for Windrose. I think there might be more close-ups there.

Mine took four weeks to arrive from England to Las Vegas, due to some postal issues I assume, but at least it arrived.

The H8 is a small handle (about the same as a Weber Bulldog but a little lighter). It’s not very grippy, but you probably knew that from the photos. In my opinion, it’s a beautiful handle, though, and you can’t beat the price.

It will be interesting to see what Andrew comes up with in the future. I agree that his service was top-notch.

Mine arrived in two weeks but I'm in Central NJ so things from overseas arrive fast. I am impressed with the quality at the price he is selling them. I'll probably order the larger one (H7?) In the next couple of weeks.

I totally agree on how impressive they are for the price, and will also be on the lookout for a slightly larger model. That titanium handle from Trident that he has up on his Etsy site is also very interesting, but in a completely different price class, obviously.

I have some vintage Cussons aftershave coming. I had wanted to try it since reading good reviews of the Cussons scent.

Two pucks of vintage tallow Aramis JHL shaving soap.

I must say a huge thank you to Peter (NeoXerxes) for buying on my behalf, as there was no international shipping available. I am extremely grateful to you, my friend. Happy2
