Snailforge standard in Damascus and orange juma
I think Orange and Damascus go very well together. This is O2 and 15N20 Damascus. The steel was made by Maartn Van Hattem. And the scales material is orange juma gem. I call this design the snailforge standard, because it's a no-frills design that still has some touches that makes it 'mine'. It's the shaving comfort I always go for, without outlandish design elements.
Til shade is gone, til water is gone, Into the shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath.

That one is a real beauty. I much prefer the more classic lines but still with plenty of "Bruno" in the design. The Damascus and orange scales do go very well together. I think this one is my favorite.

That orange juma is a neat looking material. That Damascus, wow, terrific patterning in it. And a classic shaped razor. Hat trick of happy shaving right there. The owner is a lucky gent.
Well done sir..again...

Nice, Bruno! The thing begs to be held in-hand!
Someone could rub the toe AND heel under the windowsill!
Some cool things goin-on.

Beautiful work Bruno!
It'll be a while before I have the funds but one day I will own (and shave) with one of your blades!
Speaking of...do you do lay-a-way:rofl2

That's a classic, signature design that definitely lets everyone know the blade comes from Snail Forge. I love the double thumb-notches, spine geometry, and especially the orange scales. And those spinky ends demand a shaver's full attention or a bit of muting as Sharptonn has already noted.

If that means: can you send me money for doing nothing until the amount is paid in full? Yeah sure.
