Way to go now the door is wide open to make what ever you want

Beautiful blades!

That is some nice work. I especially like the lines on the smaller one.

Those are very clean and crisp looking. I like the design and curves on the blades.

Nice work. Charlie said it all for me.

Thank you very much for everybody! :)

I don't like them. Send them both to me and I will dispose of them for you.

:)

James.

Ok James, and how much should I pay for your unselfish help? :)

Clearly, that is too many razors for Jimbo to dispose of safely! Can't damage the 'stache with Movember coming up! I will selflessly volunteer to take the other one -- I mean destroy it. Mercilessly.

It is very kind of you. I will see. :)

Nicely done, very clean looking razors. They look, well, inviting, I'd want to shave with them, especially the first one. Thanks for sharing.

Many thanks for your kind words. :)

I'm starting to believe that when someone has done something 'Well' they know it as others will offer to 'Dispose' of it for them!!! :rofl2::roflmao :rofl2: :roflmao

I of course would offer to dispose of them for you but I'm sure that the shipping charges would be much more than just taking them to be recycled into paper clips!!

Seriously!!! Very Very Nice Work you did there! :chapeau

Magnificent!!
Your work has inspired me to learn more about the Japanese razors.
Thanks for opening my eyes, Sir.

Your welcome, Sir! :)

Very handsome blades. Have one traditional Japanese blade but sadly have never tried to hone it. Some day...

Thank you! :)

I am not an expert on honing japanese razors but they works for me. I honed 3:1(Omote/Ura) the new blades.

Just a couple of useful pages:
