    Default Union Cutlery Spike and matching brush

    Made another batch of urethane burl blend blanks. This time in a blue colored urethane.
    Restored this nice little Spike to put the new scales on and decided against adding the spike logo into the scales. I opted instead to try a spike shape inspired scale design. Went with a matching blue urethane wedge.

    Test shave tomorrow but it honed up very nicely. Should make for a nimble razor due to its smaller stature. I expect good things.
    Thanks for looking.

    As someone who loves the color blue and burls, it's almost as if I custom ordered this set. Ok...wishful thinking here.

    Enjoy the shave tomorrow!

    Those are some pretty cool looking scales on an equally cool blade.
    Looks like it will handle great and be a fantastic shaver.
    The only other question is did you make the brush?

    Thanks for the feedback gents.
    I made the blanks, scales, and turned the brush as well Pete, trying to be a self sufficient hobbyist up here in the North.
    Everything I've been practicing, or developing interests in of late starting from razors, builders, and/or friends on this site..
    Cheers.

    Very nicely done.
    You will find its a good little Razor.
    I love the colours showing on the scales & the brush.
    Cheers Paul
