    Default My first custom leaving the shop!

    Finally the day has come where I made something that I'm happy enough with to see go! This razor is made from 01 tool steel 7/32" thick and it's a 7/8 blade. I made the jumping with a 20 TPI checkering file and made the barbers notch with a chainsaw file. The blade isn't very hollow, I know there isn't really an actual standard on how to grade the hollow of a blade if I had to call it anything I would say 1/4 if not wedge? If it helps I made the hollow with an 8" contact... the finish I would call near perfect mirror, I could have taken this to the buffer and removed everything from the 800 grit cork but choose against it...

    now i I know it's not perfect and I also never claim to know it all I'm just happy with how this came out...
