    Default OCD Razor for a retired fireman.

    OCD Razors has been on a 10 month hiatus, with some travelling, health issues (not all my own, we're good now) and retirement, but things are good, and we're back in the saddle... and the World Famous OCD Manufacturing Facilities are back in production.

    My first razor of the year is for a retired fireman from the Long Island area. He has been waiting a long time for me to make this one. Thank you for your patience AND your service.

    It is a three pin 8/8's square point with a large barber's notch. There is filework stem to stern, with jimps top, bottom and aft. The blade is ground full hollow. Scales are translucent water buffalo horn with a white faux ivory wedge.

    As always, Thanks for looking...
    Bob @ OCD Razors

    Man that's a lot of file work. It looks great, and the horn has almost a blue hue to it; never seen that before. Hes gonna go nuts over it.

    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    Wowsers!

    I especially like the grind on that big blade! And the horn scales are gorgeous, too.
    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.

    Great looking blade! Glad you are in good health!!

    Hey when a razor has a spine like that, does it require a different method of honing?
