I started this one after my first alien. I decided that an alien razor should have jimps and more curves, rather than more notches. 8/8 O2 blade in kirinite scales and glow in the dark spacer. I also start to prefer making smiling razors. Much more fun to make.

Beautiful razor, I am really liking the blade-tang-grip area. Great design and craftsmanship.

Tang!!!
That is gorgeous Bruno.
The scales made me immediately think of red smoke.

thanks Charlie. Aside from the hollow grinding, that is the part I spent most of the time on. The jimps were made with a square file, rather than a triangular file. This makes the opening between them wider. And after HT I used greasless 80 grit polishing compound to clean the scale from in between the scales. This also rounded the edges of the jimps, resulting in the jimps you see.Quote:

Nice work, I really like the smiling blade & the jimps are unique in a great way.
My gosh Bruno, what in the world are you doing to your reputation? It's called a straight razor, not a curved razor! Its got a hole in it, some strange psychedelic scales...jesh!
Now that that silly stuff is out of the way, I really, really, like it man. The main thing I like about it is that it looks like it would function very well & feel good in the hand. I really like an edge that is about 6cm versus 7.5-8cm ling as they just work better for me. Just shaved with a longer razor this morning and I seem to touch myself with them once during a shave. This time it was the top of the ear dang it. You knocked it out of the park Bruno, it all came together a working piece of art.
Very nice Bruno looks awesome
I want it!
Beautiful :).
Looking good!
Cheers.
Out of this world nice ! It looks like your creating a certain style that will be noticed at first glance.
love how this came out. my bruno blade is almost finished
The Alien guy likes it so much, H.R. Giger died with joy today.
Very cool looking razor Bruno and I bet an even better shaver :) Great work. Ken
Bruno, as is said in some circles.'Mazeltov!" Great work, must get one of those when I go back to Mars.
Like the nice smile on this blade. :)
AWESOME shape of the blade, the long tang and the fit in the scales are SPOT ON!!!!
A perfect custom razor!!!
:rock:
Agree. I much prefer a shorter blade. When I saw this in the classified, my heart skipped a beat.Quote:

You will not be disappointed, I shaved with my custom Bruno today for the first time ,, it's a wonderful piece of art and still a fantastic razor! Tc
What an eye catching design! My favorite part is definitely the perfect fit in the scales. I Love it when scales and blade mesh so exactly as they do in this razor.
That is sweet!
Arrived today.. amazingly fast delivery considering the distance it had to travel.
I am hugely partial to a shorter than average edge and the Alien fits the bill perfectly!! Nice deep jimps as well!
Thank you so much!
