Thread: For my Uncle.

My Uncle has recently showed interest in learning how to shave with a straight razor. He requested that I get him a razor brush and bowl for Christmas and I agreed I would do that for him. He didn't want anything special just something to get him started. Then my Aunt came along and requested that I do something a little more special for him. He's very much a wood guy like myself and she requested that I use some exotic woods for the projects. OF COURSE!! I said. Lol.

Here's the razor I just got done for him. The blade is a Quimco Razor Works, Solingen Germany. On the back it says Faweyso Made in Germany. I did the scales from Chakte Viga wood, and the wedge is Tagua nut (Vegetable Ivory.) Hand rubbed 3 coats of oil in to give it that soft glow. This wood doesn't need much protection, it's super oily as it is. I hope he has the patience to learn the straight razor and all it's glory. He seems like the kind of guy who would have the persistence it takes.




Edit, added this before pic, and yes I kept these scales They did not belong on this blade.
