    Default 8/8 Custom in desert ironwood burl

    Well, I am really behind with pictures, so I will post a few razors in the next days/weeks which I made earlier. Here is a razor made for a real gentleman, the details were changed from the original Carbon Long tail version to match his style, simple, and elegant. 8/8 blade, mirror polish everywhere, some very moderate spinework, and desert ironwood burl laminated with african blackwood for the scales.

    What a great look. The blade is super. I have always liked desert ironwood and this is a superb example.

    Generally, and that means about 99% of the time I do not like wood scales on straight razors. This is the 2nd Desert Ironwood scaled blade of yours that that I have seen here that sits in the 1% of Like. And with the design of the blade....well this is a beautiful example of the art. Thanks for posting the pics.

    Beautiful lines on the blade - the scale material is superb.
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

    That is superb work !

    Fluid and elegant all over.

    I am not very fond of monkey tails, and find that, while it provides some sort of balance here, it still is a bit too much.
    But well, that's what I like, and not what I objectively judge : very good work indeed.
    Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

    One of the most beautiful razors I've ever seen. A work of art.

    As always, your work is superb Jeness. Your style carries through to all of your different blade profiles.
