8/8 gentleman razor

This was an attempt to create a razor, styled like the 'gentlemanly' razors of Joseph rodgers. I've always like JR, more than any other sheffield. I've seen several styles of spine work, but always found the scalloped spines to be the most 'stylish'. Of course, this is pure preference on my part. In any case, that is what I wanted to emulate. For that reason, I also went with half-circle filework in the sides of the tang instead of regular jimping.

The blade is 8/8 half hollow, handforged O2. The scales are 'old denim' kirinite, with a glow in the dark kirinite spacer.

very nice Bruno ,, keep up the fantastic work tc

The perfect blade...so jealous.

Bruno,

Good show. The razor bears the majesty of the Sheffield razors, indeed, with the same sweeping curves in the blade and the inviting hump in the shank. Yes, the razor is befitting a gentleman.

Good job!

Cheers.

Well done. You certainly achieved what you wanted. Looks great.

Looks great Bruno, I love the old scallop spines also
This came out awesome
Another Snail Forge success

Very well done Bruno!! Beautiful razor, I just love the lines.

Perfect, I would say one of my favorites thus far.

Agreed, this one is a beauty, well done! Love the curves and the shape of the tang. Also, the spine work looks good and clean.

Great Job Bruno, Love the entire thing. Just elegant and cool at the same time.

I really like this one Bruno! I'm very fond of square toes and heels like these. Have you measured the radius of the smile?
