Razor #9
hi gents just finished razor #9 (razor #8 is still a work in progress),This is a special razor for my sons 18th birthday so is an completely over the top custom piece,
It is 7/8" 1/4 hollow o1 Sheffield steel with filework and inlaid aquamarine gemstones(his birthstones).
The scales are 24k gold flake laminated in between two layers of acrylic (which were a complete pain in the ar*e to make and took a couple goes to get right).
Faux turquoise wedge and brass pins.
Now all I needto do is teach him how to shave with it (although I think I will start him off with a nice 5/8" razor first!!)
Cheers ed.

That razor is a work of art. Very impressed and perplexed be the aquamarine inlay (I have no idea how it is done). Regardless, a beautiful shaver!

Thanks for your kind comments,The cavities for the aquamarine gemstones were bored out before heat treating and then refined after heat treat before finally setting the stones cheers ed.
