Intriguing. I have to say I am mostly interested in the engraving or etching. I do have and periodically shave with a fixed blade razor from time to time. Mine is a Robert Williams Purist. I would be curious as to how well it would handle. Of course there is no way to convey that information. You have my attention from a shavers point of view. I am not a maker of blades so I cannot say anything technical about the construction. As long as it shaves well, looks good and pleases you it was a successful build.
