Thread: Pair of Japanese style razors w western grind

I just finished a little experiment in trying a couple of improvements in my process of making razors like this. These are 15/16 in width, and have a western style symmetrical grind combined with a Japanese handle style. The balance point is right at the shoulder. Made from O2. I know putting 2 razors in the same picture makes it nearly impossible to capture both in the best way possible, but since I made both at the same time, I wanted to put them in the same picture.

EDIT: Those lighter color smudges are places where the balistol oil is on a bit thicker. I forgot to wipe them down.
