    Nice razor and gorgeous scales, how does it shave?

    That looks sweet Mike!
    Love that Birds eye. To think I found that hunk at A&M woods behind the table saw in the scrap bin. Payed a $1 for it.

    You did a lovely job on the whole razor Mike and I love the etching on the blade too.

    Hard to tell from the photo but the wedge is Whitetail antler with just a bit of bark showing on the top inside edge.
    The blade centres nicely although the picture angle would indicate differently.
    Pins are brass with small stainless & really small brass stacks.
    Thanks for looking

    Nice. I had wondered if antler would work and look good as a wedge, your answer, YES.

    I'm not sure its for everybody
    Its my third wedge from a small antler.
    I like to leave a little or a lot of bark so its apparent what it is
    I kinda feel like its out of respect for the buck that gave his life to me
    Its also a small reminder of my past adventures when i use it.
    Thanks!
    Mike

    I have a SENSATION without the Frederick Reynolds stamping. It was made for L. C. Thompson, Pottsville PA

    There are no other stampings on the tang.

    I would like to add that the SENSATION bevel was cleaned up on a Shapton Glass 8k. 4 laps on a Frictionite 00 and 20 laps on the Gokumyo 20k. A proper stropping and a great shave.
