    Default My last two custom razors

    Hi guys, here the last two razors I’ve put together for you to have a look over.

    The first is a 10/8” quarter hollow ground with natural horn scales a pewter wedge and brass collars. I shaved with this one a couple of times before I sold it and it was one of the best straight shaves I’ve ever had.
    Anyway here some photos and a video of the razor before I polished it and gave its scales.

    The second one is a 15/16” again it’s a quarter hollow this time with black horn scales a birds eye maple wedge and brass dome collars.

    I really need to post more I know but I’m working myself into the ground at two jobs, the day job (booo) and making razors. So when I’m not working I’m knackered!! But my razors are starting to get better prices now so hopefully I can say goodbye to the day job soon (yay!!)

    The one in black horn is very nice.
    Well done
    If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

    That's a beautiful piece of horn at the top Drew. The razor is too big for my liking but the smile looks good - as you say, your stuff is getting better. Good going.
    My service is good, fast and cheap. Select any two and discount the third.

    I got this beauty from Drew earlier in the week.



    It's a lovely razor . Its my first fixed blade, so getting and keeping the angle right is taking some learning but when it's right, it is very right.
