You gotta love those Swedish razors. Excellent steel and shavers imo.
This one does not disappoint. Very smooth shave. The blade itself feels very sturdy and solid.

Silver washers and brass pin.
The blade starts from 5/8 (heel side) to 6/8 (toe side) averaging 11/6.
Grind: Wedge

Great job Max. Minty fresh.
Is the blade fixed or removable ?The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

I like the handle shape. It complements the frame of the blade

I can't help wondering what this would look like in Desert Ironwood. I like the relative rectangularity of the scales to the razor.

I have a real weakness for Swedish razors, especially framebacks. This one is a great example, nice work on the restore & rescale.
I just finished unpacking all my shave gear at the house, and I'm amazed at the beauty of some of these blades that I've put aside for "restore later". I'll need to get them cleaned up and in shaving shape very soon.

I love it. The wood looks really rustic IMO. I agree with the other comment about the shape of the scales. A greater degree curvature would not look nearly as good. You have got a great eye Max and you know how to make some thing look unique.
