6/8 Modified Spanish Point in Lighting Strike Carbon Fibre
Hi Gents,
I have been slack getting onto SRP lately. I have just been catching up on some of the great work that is being done.
Here is a razor that I made for my older brother for his 40th Birthday. He is not a straight razor shaver so I tried to make something fairly traditional but with a few modern touches as well. Both tip and toe a rounded a bit to make sure his first shave isn't his last
Anyway, the steel is O1, HRC 60. The scales are Lightning Strike Carbon Fibre, the pins are Nickel Silver with stacked Stainless and Bras Washers.
The brass circle in the tang is a bit of brass bar that I peened into a countersunk hole then ground flat.
Thanks for looking.

that is sooooo sweet; I love the look of carbon fiber scales. Kudos!
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
