    The black micarta looks real slick. Metallic look from the aluminium wedge seems very period appropriate as some razors from that era had lead wedges. Great job!

    So, looking for honest feedback, because I've been staring at this thing for so long. In person, the gray/whitish flecks in the micarta are NOT as noticeable, but I feel like in the pictures they stand out a TON.

    If I was just looking at the pictures, I would think "oh, he tried hard...but that is just too bad." But honestly, when I look at it in person, I'm like "sweet, this looks awesome."

    What do you all think? Have any of you had similar experiences with real life v. photo effect?

    I think you can call that a job well done.
