    Default 8/8 FORGED

    Hello everyone, yesterday I finished a razor forged in k720 steel, with size 8/8 and 1/4, with the hammer taper and very rustic finish. For the wood I have selected a very dense cocobolo with a very tight grain. I hope you like it.
    Best regards
    A. Castro

    I love the shape of the point, the rustic finish and the cocobolo scales.

    Dude, you are the MAN! That is totally bada$$! You are truly an artisan my friend.
    I would love to buy one of your razors but I'm afraid to ask how much one like that goes for.

    Do you shave with a straight razor or just make them. I would assume you do a test shave but then not everyone does I guess.
