Thread: Suminagashi custom straight razor - without happy end

I made this razor for a custom order. This razor was cursed, I think. I had a lot of problem with the heat treat and the acryl scales. I made the blade two times and the scales three times. After I sent to my customer. The edge was not perfect and after a few days the transparent acryl scales has broken. I refound the whole money, of course. Not a happy story but such is life.

Despite of the negative story I hope you will like the razor.
