Thread: 6/8 classic design

Most of my stuff is pretty out there, but from time to time I feel I need to make something classic. This is a 6/8 smiling razor with a monkey tail. No frills, just a nice shaver. The scales are juma dragon.

The damascus is something I cooked up during the meet in charlie's workshop.

The contrast on this damascus is pretty defined, dark grey and brite metal. It makes the razor pretty striking. I do like simple designed razors.
Nice work.

to the patterns that you are working out!

Beautiful steel.
Real nice scales too.

Very nice my friend, very nice indeed.

I take it this isn't from the blank that you turned the wrong way at Charlie's? I was just wondering as sometimes mistakes can come out wondrously.

No. That one is still on my bench. It needs to be ht'ed.

I would take it that you plan on using it once it's ht'ed?? That might produce an interesting pattern.

Nicely done, Bruno. While your "out there" designs are fun, I personally prefer the classical ones. I have very large hands which fit nicely on razors with a monkey tail, and at my age, a little smile helps with all the nooks and crannies. I do like the damascus pattern which provides a combination of "out there" with a classical look.

Top rate looking razor sir.

Outstanding Bruno! I love the scales on this one!
