    Default 13/16" Suminagashi custom straight razors

    I got a custom order for three razors. I had a lot of problem during this process but finally I have finished them. The desert ironwood burl was laminated on the carbon fiber sheet to reinforcement. I hope you will like them. Sorry for the bad pictures, I did not have enough light.




    • Multi-Layered Takefu Suminagashi steel hardened to HRC 62
    • 13/16" (21mm) wide blade
    • Quarter hollow grind
    • 60mm cutting edge
    • Stamped maker's mark (HG)
    • Desert ironwood burl and grenadil wedge
    • Phosphor-Bronze pivot bearing washers
    • Brass wedge/spacer pin with stainless steel washers
    • Adjustable stainless steel pivot pins

    Those came out absolutely superb. Formal clean lines with the added beauty of the steel.
    Congratulations. Some lucky shavers will be very happy.

    Very handsome razors, indeed! The clean style is very well complimented by the neat execution. Well done!

    That's a beautiful trio!!
    The Suminagachi steel is awesome! I look forward to having a razor with a blade made of it someday.

    I really like my sumi. It gives a very smooth comfortable shave.
