Here is my take on a DePews razor, I wanted a bigger DePews.
The blade is made of an old file, the scales are maple with a bone spacer.
The razor shaves really well.
My wife said it looks like an elf shoe, but I like it anyway.

Nice big blade! BTW your wife is right!
Elf shoe ?
To me it looks like some SWEET work with incredible results !
Gorgous work. Thats really cool that you are able to make something like that completely from scratch :rock:
I'd say you could certainly sell those very easily ;)
PS... the scales are really beautiful too by the way. The whole fit and finnish is way beyond what I would have expected.

DAMN!!!.... that razor RedLine my RAD... even MY wife couldn't stop staring at it (and you know she don't think much of straight razors). Once again you take the crown with a true 5 star razor.
Fantastically artful and stylish razor.
Every component and colours complete each other and augment the impact.
Wonderful work,

It is elf shoe-esque, but it's also awsome! Nice job :rock:

Very cool! The maple is gorgeous. How did you finish it?
Thanks to everybody for the kind words, You guys are very encouraging.
Nope, it was an old Nicholson file. It is the other half of the file that my RBI razor was made from.
I used the same finishing schedule as I used on this page except I used an aerosol lacquer instead of CA.
