OCD 8/8's short California Buckeye

**boballman** · 09-28-2014, 11:00 PM

As I mentioned before, I have been playing with making razors with a tad shorter cutting edge, but the tang a normal length. I like how this one turned out. This one has a 2 1/4 edge. It hones, strops and shaves very nice. Its a keeper.

She's 8/8's with a beveled spine and coarse jimps cut on top with a thump notch on the bottom. Toe and heel have faceted cuts, giving a rounded effect. Full hollow with a semi-gloss finish.

Scales are California Buckeye from a stabilized block, wedge is a piece of white scrap something and hardware is Stainless steel screws.

As always, Thanks for looking

I really really like what you did with this razor. You should be very proud

Very nice looking design.

Wow, what a beautiful razor. I love the scales, and I enjoy shaving with a razor with a slightly shorter cutting edge. At my age, the shorter blade allows me to maneuver among the nooks and crannies efficiently.

I like that a lot. The shorter blade is something I'd like. Now if it had a smile, I'd really like it! Love the buckeye too, one of my favs.

I really like it. Good work.

HA! Nice shortie, Bob! Bigger, shorter razors are great and this one has class! Great idea! Looks super!

Nice work! Have to agree with Andrew a shorty with a smile would be ideal...
I like the whole idea of a shorter blade in general. The shorter blades seem to work a lot better around the neck area

That work has everything to admire in a razor Bob. As always your work is brilliant.
