    Yeah, incredible result on that blade, especially the tail personality.

    More importantly, the overall combination of blade and scales looks to make for a razor that won't give any gruff on the strops. There's nothing quite so disappointing as a custom blade that refuses to behave on the strops due to form over function issues.

    Great work, John! Good luck avoiding this natural call to razor making that seems to have already been in your blood well before you arrived at Charlie's

    It behaves better than I had hoped. I did some stropping with just the blade before starting my finish sanding to see if anything would scratch the strop. The point was the only thing so I rounded the sharp edges and ever so lightly muted the point while honing. Not a scratch on the strop afterwards.
