7/8ths French point in cocobolo

**mikew** · 04-22-2014, 02:30 PM

Hi all

Here is a razor I finished off today. It's basically an improved version of the blackwood one I showed recently. Carbon steel, cocobolo scales with an ebony wedge and brass pins.

Please let me know what you think

Really nice!

Cheers.

I like it very much. Clean lines with blade and scales. It is a 1/4 hollow?

Thanks guys! Yes it's a 1/4 hollow.

I like it too, it has a "minimalistic" look to it

Someone asked to see a pic of the derrier...

Very nice straight lines. Almost like a Bill Ellis.

How did it hone?

How did it shave?

Very nicely done!!

ZethLent same here, it reminded me of some of Bill Ellise's razors as well

Thanks. If I get anywhere near Bill Ellis's standard I'll die a happy man

Honing/shaving went well. Still a little unevenness in the bevel but I'm learning lots from each one I make.
