Obie in Wisconsin gets OCD
Yeah, he's happy. Obie is the proud new papa of an OCD 8/8's full hollow 3 pin razor. She has a Spanish point, jimps top, bottom and tail, and sports a satin finish.
Scales are stabilized redwood burl bonded to walnut for strength. This wood has a deep holographic effect...really nice. Hardware is ss screws and barrel nuts. The wedge is a contrasting polished brass.
I honed this puppy with my new Japanese natural Okudo Asagi finishing hone. She's laser sharp. (I'm even learning to hone a little better)
As always, thanks for looking

Obie, it speaks ancient Assyrian to me in it boldness and bulk. A mighty Emperor would have been pleased to have wielded such a razor.

Absolutely gorgeous

Bob,
My razor makes an entrance with assured swagger framed by inner strength, an attitude that says my majesty is real and I don't have to put on airs about it. Yes, the razor is worthy of my idle, the intellectual warrior king Ashurbanipal of ancient Assyria. I am pleased. I am ecstatic. Thank you, Bob Allman, for you are the master. And thank you, gentlemen, for the kind words.

Gentlemen,
I had not realized what an artist and craftsman Bob Allman was. Yes, of course, he is highly respected among straight razor masters here. But Bob's work seems magical, as I discover. Good show. And on top of everything, he is a gentleman.
