Workingman's Wapi

**Del1r1um** · 03-29-2009, 12:13 AM

Hey guys, Here is a wapi I got from our main man Big Red. I fixed it up with some walnut scales and a satin finish both on the blade and the scales (these are rather plain but there is a reason for that). I think Glen calls this a "working razor" finish, which is what I was going for. I put this together for my uncle who is the owner of a small business in New Jersey... he is a very hard worker and a great dad, so this one is my symbol of what a working man's razor might be... not really any frills, but a good shaver with reserved dignity. It will be heading his way next week.

Anyways... enjoy and leave you thoughts if you have any

For a working man, I expected a denim finish, preferably Carhartt. I also like the satin or matte finishes, makes me feel like the razor is for using instead of displaying.

Very nice work.

Very nice job and even better on the reasoning. It's nice of you to do this for your uncle and I'm sure he will be proud and thankful....Where in New Jersey is your uncle and his business? Maybe he is near me.

A very thoughtful gift.

And, nice pin job, Red.

No, HE did all that work, I only sold the blade! I was marvelling over that pin job too. It amazes me when guys get it rounded like that and no hammer marks. It really looks fantastic. I'm envious of his uncle.

Nice job and an even nicer gesture. Kudos to you.

That looks great. I've got a walnut tree in my back yard that is going to need a trimming real soon.

Simple is almost always good, and this is very nice. Good work!
