    Default 13/16" Suminagashi razor with blue acrylic scales

    Hi Folks!

    I recently made this straight razor. Just for fun, not for custom order (It is no longer available.). I did not like to work with acrylic earlier but nowadays it is getting better and better now.
    I hope you will like my work. Thanks for watching.

    • Suminagashi (shirogami) steel hardened to HRC 63
    • 13/16" (21mm) wide blade
    • ~68-70mm cutting edge
    • Quarter hollow grind
    • Blue acrylic scales and nickel-silver wedge
    • Phosphor-Bronze pivot bearing washers
    • Nickel-silver wedge/spacer pin with stainless steel washers
    • Adjustable stainless steel pivot pins

    Absolutely beautiful razor.

    I bet it shaves almost as good as my HG Suminigashi
