7 and 8 of 14

Another pair finished of two sets in progress, previous thread is http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...-5-6-14-a.html.

This time some thick wedge blades requiring thick spacers. A Cattaraugus to the American Pearl set and a Henckels #60 for the Bone Henckels set. The Henckels is sort of a 'ringer' as it has been in my rotation for several years. A great shaver! Seems I am a bit over half done! :D

Sharpton, I hate you, I hate you. Those are so G.D. Gorgeous I could turn green with envy. Thankfully I don't have envy - just greed, lust, avarice and many more adjectives to describe my unbridled desire to face you in a loaded boars brush lather-out, winner take all (a lot less messy or fatal as swords or pistols.) Are there such things as Razor Stalkers (need to ask my therapist)?

Can't wait to see the finished project.

Beautiful Tom...really beautiful! Also...what a great idea: same scales different yet similar blades. I'm actually sort of 'stealing' your idea.I've been accumulating and restoring seven 5/8 shoulder-less Sheffield blades that will all go into ivory scales. So far I'm 5 out of 7 done...

Your an Inspiration for me!

If someone asked me why I liked straight razors and I wasn't inclined to talk....I would just point to the last pic on the right in your set...the two razors side by side. A tool born of utility elevated to art. Wow.

Hard to find a decent Catt with a barber's notch! It has a bit of hone wear, but cannot wait to hone it up!

Never done. I will probably unpin several and do wedge/spacer work. The pearl do not like wedges and tapered tangs. As you close some, the scales flex and the pearl lifts off the liners at the joint. Got to fine-tune some.
Then, there is a matter of the boxes. Will show progress next time!

Thomas.... Sorry for my delay I just found your latest installments 7 & 8 and as said before you keep up-ing your game. Not only by your exquisite craftsmanship, but also with the incredible kit you bring each time. These two 7 day sets will be a monument to you Tom, A great big "TOM WAS HERE" Thats something for you to be proud of. I certainly am proud of you. Well done brother.

Thanks, Josh! Have not honed nor shaved with it, but the 60? That thing is a beard destroyer!
