    Default 8/8 Fairy tail, red abalone, semi-stainless

    This razor was a new project, the blade steel is a swedish semi-stainless at 60HRC hardness. The blade definitely holds up much better to rust and patina than the regular carbon steels, and has a comparable fine grainstructure, and thus holds a very fine shaving edge. I will make some more razors from this steel, but it looks as a promising alternative between stainless and carbon steel.


    Scales are made from red abalone shell, glued to black acrylic, wedge is red/black reconstituted stone.

    I hope you like her!

    Very nice, very clean. It's messing with me though I can't tell if I think it looks clean and simple, or more sharp and fancy... maybe a good mix of both.
