I'm always in awe of razors like these because I only wish I had the fabrication skills to pull it off myself. Nice work!

Nice clean lines, I like it a lot. What steel did you use?

Thanks fellas
The steel is AISI-O1. I see you're in NZ, can you get O1 there out of interest? I have dreams of moving there one day....Grazor likes this.

I have a mate in the industry, will have a yarn with him, if all else fails, I have some leaf springs off a Ford Fairlaine that may do the job. Originally Posted by mikew

Well here she is....
The scales are African blackwood and the spacer is bone. The pins are brass with stainless steel and brass stacked washers. In all honesty it's not the best razor I own, but then it's not the worst either.
The next one will be a lot better!
Please feel free to comment or make suggestions.

Looks great Mike. You've got some grinding skills! How did you heat treat it and hone it?
Let me know if you need any help with shaving, honing, etc.
