Thread: One of my newest customs

It would be nice to see pictures of both blade faces and end on to see the profile.

Can I be blunt?
I'm going to suggest that a new vendor, covert or not, might enter a special thread called, let's say, The Critical View. It would be understood that the maker would be open to discussions about his work and that the only real goal was to advance the craft of razor making. You couldn't get away with: 'here's my new work, it's great, isn't it? Shut-up.
Am I prejudiced? Yep. I think that the finest examples of the custom razor are those which combine the aesthetics of the past with the metallurgical and engineering advances of the present.

The only times you aren't blunt are when you are obtuse bill. so it is a given in my book that you will be one or the other, often it is hard to distinguish which.

I suppose, upon reflection that you could be waggishly obtuse however I am not sure if the inverse could be true.

I love the fact that it's not the same old same old. I love the cutting edge designs.

How did you get the blade all black? I would to have one in all black.

ummm. I forget what it's called, but where's the part I shave my face with? It should have one of those, as those are the types of razors I use most.

Thank you, I really appreciate that. I get the blade so black as a part of the etch process for the damascus. I use a ferric acid blend. It turns out this cool black, I like the darkness too.
