Neat. I dig the pattern.

Beautiful pattern Victor. You sure know how to make them stand out.

I really like how you have evolved the patternwelded with the mono steel edge. The more I look at them the more I love them. The grind may be a little heavier but it’s still pretty hollow. From a shaving perspective I think I would like this one more, but from a skills perspective your extra hollows are amazing.

Thanks Rez. I recently scrapped 3 razors in a row by grinding too thin and got a little gun shy. I'll be working back towards thin thin again as I get back in the groove. I've got 5 razors in various stages at this point.

Man, 3 in a row?! Surprised you didn’t just go with a 1/4 hollow ;).

You hand hammer your pattern welds? I seem to remember you saying that you did. I’m sure this one won’t last too long.

Yes I do....

You’re a sick and talented man, Victor.

Another beauty, Victor. I prefer heavier grinds and would probably prefer this one over your thin, thin blades. I really like the pattern on this one.

very nice looking blade!

Blade grinds are definitely a YMMV thing. I have one of Vic's thin bellied grinds and it works quite well with my coarse beard.
