Amazing work.
Thank you for all your kind comments!
@Dafonz6987: I have never heard of a double bellied hollow ground, but it can be done. But I donīt think that it will improve the shaving quality.
@koonclan: The steels used are 1.3505 (bearing steel) for the 6/8" and 1.2210 (Silversteel) for the 8/8". Hardening and tempering is done singly or in very small batches in a digital controlled furnace. The final hardness is about 62hrc. Until now we had only positive feedback concerning edge holding ;-)
Here are some more full hollow ground razors but in streaked horn scales:

This is what some of us refer to as a Bellied double-hollow grind, Ulrik!
You seem to have done it very nicely! :)

Excellent razors.
Especially those who have white veins
Cross-section of a razor Superb. The design is impressive
Wow! That is beautiful work. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Nice work! I especially like the razor with the feathered horn scales:)
