    Default 15/16 humpback swayback

    I made this razor for a young gent who liked the OCD razor that Charlie Lewis uses in his video. Thanks Charlie. The customer wanted a 7/8 but it turned out 15/16 and I couldn't cut down that really thin edge, I would have cried. Sorry.

    So, she's a 15/16 with jimps top, bottom, and nose. Finger notches on top. Grind is full hollow.

    Scales are black paper micarta with a polished aluminum wedge. (The scales are polished and glossy, but in the pics look flat. Well, photographer I'm not.)

    As always, thanks for looking

    The aluminum wedge really sets off the piece.

    Great job.
    If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.
