Love it, nice job. Can you please post a photo like the second photo, but open showing the blade?

Sorry, front photo is not made because the reflected light from the blade. But I found one. One of my friends made, who tested the razor for me.

Very comfortable razor, i love it!:)

Wow! That is an extreme smile on that razor. Beautiful work Gregg71.

What fine work you did. The lines of your blade is flawless. How did your friend like the use of and the shave it produced?

Thanks!

It is much easier to shave with it than it looks if you like smiley edges. :)

It is surprising but easier to work with than the normal straight razor. Especially in the beard area. And in hard to reach places. Btw, beautiful! :)

Great smile :D

Beautiful work, bet it's great on your neck!

Thank you all you, guys!

Yes, very well fits on the neck. :)

Just saw this...gorgeous...I find big blades appealing. Beautiful mirror finish. The lines of the razor remind me of the non-typical style of pipe-maker Eric Nording's work...I have several of his pipes just for that reason...interesting to look at and unique...your razor has a kind of Viking long ship impression. Thanks for sharing.
