    Hi everybody!

    I have just finished this razor now. I made it for me. The blade is forged by my hungarian friend.

    steel: M1 + 15N20, 144 layers, hardened to HRC 60.5
    scales: camel bone
    wedge: reconstituted turquoise
    edge: ~70mm
    blade wide: 7/8in
    blade thickness: 5.5mm











    Thanks for watching!

    Looking Good!
    The turquoise is a really nice touch.

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Beautiful, and I also particularly like the wedge, both material and the design, super cool looking blade.

    WOW!! Now that razor is something else. I don't think you could of put together a better combination of colors and materials if you wanted. Nicely done

    lots of attention to detail in there! very nice, just the work that went into the wedge shows amazing skills but the whole package really is a stunner, gorgeous. and youre keeping it all to yourself?!?! kind of selfish isn't it?! the geometry of the blade with the lightly cambered spine is an elegant touch to such a beastly blade.

    I really like what you did with the wedge. Great combination of materials, the razor itself is just awesome!

    great one, I like the details like groove on a wedge (did it once on a wooden wedge and was a pain to do with my tools, how did you make the groove if may I ask) and exposing the recon pattern transition/begining of a scales at the wedge part.. the flow of the lines,.. altogether very very nice
