Thread: Twin City Dreadnought in Himalayan Ram's Horn

Yes it is. I couldn't find much in the way of information on it when I was looking it up. Do you know much about them?

The balance isn't bad at all. Takes a little getting used to like any other new blade.

The handle is slightly larger, but overall it looks good.

That's an awesome job that turned out beautifully.
I love the ram scales, the bear femur wedge and what you did with the point of the blade.

The cities of Lewiston and Auburn are next to each other separated by the Androscoggin River and were mill towns back in the day. They are still known as the twin cities thus your razor's name. There was a barber supply house in Lewiston called Maine Barber Supply. I've seen some blades stamped Maine B.S. which has brought a few colorful comments.

Thanks for that. Ironically the place that I went bear hunting was in Bangor. It just dawned on me the connection. Im really glad that I used the bear femur on this one now.
