Monkeying around...
Donor razor was a new gold monkey (like a gold dollar but close to 7/8 blade). Reworked blade, tang and tail, Scales are Paua laminate, stainless pins/washers, faux ivory wedge.
The easy road is rarely rewarding.

Nice Work My Friend! I knew that we'd be seeing some nice stuff coming out of your workshop!

What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

First shave was this morning. It didn't take over control of my hand this morning and slice me open...so it can't be too evil! I was surprised when I got it that it has a bellied grind. It did give me a VERY nice (BBS except one small area), if noisy shave. I was surprised when I got it that it has a bellied grind.

haha, before I saw this reply I was going to say the same thing about the adoration! interesting number for sure, not what most think it is. its "a mans number." before I get OT let me say I love the shape you put to it, its close to a design I have for my razors and I love the feel of it. im always a big fan of the paua too, nice job all around!

Gorgeous shape to the blade.
Very nice and the scales compliment it very well.
