Thread: Shaving Set 8/8+ / Micro Razor / Mokume Gane / Bone

Absolutely stunning razors!!
I'm curious about the Mokume Gane. I had to look this up. What I found out is that it is a combination of metals that are combined and made to look like wood. The two questions that I initially have are : is it readily available, and how hard is it to work with?
The blue G10 liner accenting the blue in the scales is killer!!!
Thanks for sharing.

It is readily available and it's workable with the same tools and materials you use for your acrylic, wood or other scale materials. It does take a longer sanding time as you have to make sure all scratches are removed when moving up in your grits. I've had a few instances where it looked stellar but after final polish I had to to back to a lower grit to remove several scratches. It is a tough material mostly due to the ferrous and non ferrous metals used.

As usual, Max puts out stunning work. And very functional, not just a piece of art, but an actual razor that holds up and stands the test of time.

I see one very happy friend at Christmas Max. Your work is impeccable.
