    Default 8/8 one piece in O2

    This was handforged form O2 stock, as is practically everything I make. 8/8 + in size.
    Very light and maneuverable.

    Bruno, is it Western grind or Japanese grind? If you are selling it would you please PM me with the price and if I haven't ruined my financial condition yet thanks to this "inexpensive""hobby""" of ours I might answer you back. Answer back to at least thank you for seeing a nice razor.

    It's western grind, I dislike Japanese grind. A face is more or less symmetrical, and a razor can be used in both hands.
    Forcing yourself into contortions just for the sake of using only one side and one hand is not my idea of a comfortable shave.

    That is a user! Nice to see a pleasant razor that has no sharp corners!

    Bruno, I like it. I like the way the tang has a slight upward angle from the blade. Does that have any effect on stropping?

    A bit, but because you hold it near the thumb notch, it's not that bad actually.

    I'd say it is half hollow or even a bit more hollow.
