Thread: A quartet of 8/8 Dorko's

This is a nice collection of blades, wish they were mine. 2 are diamond stamped spine and two have a nice leaf pattern down the spine. One in a nice tight lacewood, another in a particularly tight and quite striking quilted maple, another in olive and the last in some figured red Nara.

All the blades got a nice buff and then mounted in the epoxy finished scales. They are all NOS blades and will make someone quite happy.

So are they for sale ?

Yes. They are heading back to shavingshop.com Monday, you would have to email John (owner of shavingshop) as to the priceing but they are darn nice razors. I have 2 just like them in 6/8. Some of the best shavers out there.

How much for the quilted maple and the one shown in the bottom pic toward the front ? ahh im tired here, just noticed you said to email for prices

It'd be great to have a set of those! Similar blades & the scale shape identical like that, just a different wood for each day of the week! Very nice!

I tend to lean toward original scales when possible but that is some mighty pretty wood. The quilted maple being my favorite. The others look great too.

The original scales were cheep black and red plastic, which is why they got a rework.

I have an oversize set of the quilted maple that I gave a light coat of danish oil to bring out the patina, then epoxy coated them. I have a big 8/8 worked spine Spanish tip Henckels that will go in them for myself.

Excellent job on the scales!
