Well, Mr. Onimaru55, you are right that this is not the most practical design. I milled out the back spacer and then added a mid pin so that the blade never touches anything. I also set it deeper into the handle and antiqued the brass. It is novel looking and does shave. The long heavy blade is a tad unwieldy, but it pops the hairs right off. So... a fun experiment/learning experience. However, traditional styles are that way for good reasons :-) A few more pics for you. I hope your weekend is going well.
If I can afford it, I buy the best that I can. If I can't afford, I make it. If I can't make it... I do without!
