    Default custom 8/8" razor

    Here's razor #3 it's 8/8" 1/4 hollow o1 steel,with abalone and mother of pearl scales,it's going to be a 70 th birthday gift for my uncle who has been a barber for over 50 years,honed up on a progression of naniwa superstones up to 12k and then finished on a shoubudani asagi to give that buttery smooth shave,It's a little bit blingy but that's his style cheers ed.

    Very Nice...and a very thoughtful thing to do. This well qualifies you as Nephew of the Year! Thanks for sharing the razor and a thoughtful gesture.
