    Well, it looks really good, congratulations. If it's a first attempt, it's a brilliant one.

    Have you tried shaving with it ?

    hi ,i apologize for my bad english language !!
    No ,i have not tryed it , i finished it only yesterday, and it isn't the first attempt , i made another razor last year .
    The first one dont make me completely satisfied , it shave , yes , but my others straight (solingen made) shave better , so i make another test with other shape and material.
    This one is very thin at the adge (probably too much thin !!) , the first one was more like a 1/4 hollow.
