Challenge err... Let's chalk that as "good enough".
It's not completely out of bounds but I'd rather do that :
- with a proper tool (as opposed as undercutting with a skew)
- with harder/denser wood
- with a better lathe scratch that. He's a poor worker who blames his tool. Git gud
This time it was more trying to make the captive ring (which is the actual challenge), and I really skipped a lot of steps, which means that the result is overall mediocre and does not make for a proper "product".
But I'm happy enough I pulled it this far for now. A year ago captive rings were not a thing I thought doable.Last edited by Aggelos; 05-15-2025 at 05:50 PM.
Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

If at first you fail, grab a piece of boxwood I suppose.
I actually pulled it O_o
Still can't believe it
It's not perfect or pro level but I love this one, it's going straight to my rotation as soon as I receive a knot that would fit it.
Expect to see it in future SOTDs !Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.
