8/8" custom straight razor with barber's notch

Hi all,

I have just finished this straight razor for a customer. This is the first time I create barber's notch and near wedge blade. The ginding was made on a 12" contact wheel.
I hope you will like it. :)

• C125SC steel hardened to HRC 61 (at the edge)
• 8/8" (26mm) wide blade
• 70mm cutting edge
• Barber's notch tip
• Near wedge grind
• Mirror polish blade, fine-satin hollow grind
• Ebony wood scales with brass wedge
• Phosphor-Bronze pivot bearing washers
• Brass wedge/spacer pin with brass washers
• Adjustable stainless steel pivot pins

Beautiful and classy-If I were to order a custom, it would look exactly like this!

Great job!!! :tu

That customer should be very happy. I know I would be

Simple, elegant and beautiful. i like classic lines and razors that are not over worked or decorated. That razor goes with a tuxedo and Dunhill billiard dress pipe. James Bond would surely shave with that haha great job.

That's a beautiful razor that just screams class.
I love the barbers notch that you did and the brass wedge.

I always wondered what the barber's notch is for? Can someone tell me.

I once read that a barber's notch is where the outer nostril "rides" when shaving under the nose so the cutting edge can get in deeper.
Not sure that's the exact reason but seemed to make sense.

That is CLEAN looking :tu:tu

What a terrific job well done, that's brilliant!

Thank you all for the kind words, Gents! :)

Thank you very much for the info.

Very nice and clean blade. I really like the shape of it. Nothing overdone and the ebony and brass combo in the scales finishes it perfectly.
That new owner will be lucky. :)

Looks very nice, 2 thumbs up!

how much is the questIon

Beautiful and classic design. What do custom pieces like this cost?

Gentlemen, just my two cents, but I don't think the forum itself is the place to discuss pricing.
PM the maker if interested. I'm sure he'll gladly inform you about the options.
