    Cool My first razor, 6/8" round point in white G10

    Kinda pumped about this one. My first made by my own hand, all except the HT. Started with a piece of 3/16" stock, and ended up with this; 6/8" round point, with some nice jimps up top. Tried to emulate the shape of my Bismark, I'm pretty happy. Scales are white G10 with a red acrylic wedge.

    I want to hone it tonight, but a it is late, and I have 5k to run tomorrow. Sorry for the iPhone pics.

    Enjoy. I sure did.

    Is the 3/16 stock thick enough to get the proper bevel angles on a 6/8 or do you have to tape up the spine pretty good?

    I can see why you're proud of that - it looks great and the scales complement it as well.

    @JMD61 - the ratio of blade to spine with is in the range 3.5 to 4:1 - so this razor is at the 4 end especially as the spine is right at the top of the razor.
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

    Congratulations. You have a great flow from blade to scales and I am crazy about shoulderless razors. Nice work.
