    Default 8/8 O1 in denim micarta scales

    Thought I'd show this here.
    This is the 4th razor I have made and definitely the most dimensionally correct yet.
    Steel is O1 and grind is 1/4 hollow, scales are home made denim micarta, wedge is corian. The micro pins are just temporary.
    Pretty pleased with bevel for first attempt using a belt grinder, had a lot of advice from Bob of OCD. Test shave off LV coticule edge was typically smooth in a skin kind way. My photography is not the best so may not be showing in the best light.
    Feedback welcomed, thanks for looking.

    You have a lot of love and time in this don't you ? It shows ! Nice razor for sure. Only thing I wonder about is how slippery it is when wet. Just wonderin'.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I am really enjoying the extra file work, nicely done.
    A lot of detail without looking over done.
    Look forward to seeing more from you Deckard

    Remarkable razor. Many hours spent with hand work can be seen. Even if it is slippery when wet, the good looks of this razor would offset any nicks that would be had!!!!!
    Awesome job sir I admire your time, effort, and patience creating this razor!!

    Nicely done. Very original creation and the finish is great. I really like the tight weave on the scales.
