I'm a real sucker for French point[emoji6]

Have fun with these old blades that would otherwise be in the junk heap. Its an easy and inexpensive way to learn. Plus you can do wild stuff just to see how it turns out. Each one you play with will tell more for the next one. Ive only restored about 6`8 but I've learned so much and it becomes easier with each one. And Ive ruined a few from dumb mistakes like dropping them on the concrete in the garage after I had it all shined up and ready for scales. Doh!!!

Sharon that bad boy up and see how it shaves. Long term use will tell you if your design is a good one or bad one. Keep pushing the envelope of designs, learning and restoring. Thats how we find out what really works and what doesn't. Plus its fun.

Im not a huge fan of the same old black horn scales that a bajillion other razors have. They have their place but I like to live on the wild side with my style.

Ok - I went back and re-worked the profile a little. Then I took an old set of scales that had tip broken and I put them together ... not too bad for a 'super shorty' ... the cutting edge is still a little longer than DE or SE blade ... so I imagine it is usable once I get the blade back in shaving condition. Oh - I decided to give the blade a light medial blast.


I'm actually pretty happy with the end product

nothing to be ashamed of. can't wait to see more, say like a kamisori?
