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.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

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

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.

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.
