4 razors in more traditional shapes

Funny story- A guy on the forums sent these to me to rescale literally over a year ago. I worked on them and then was gone for a while etc. and we ended up out of touch. Then he pretty much disappeared altogether! He's a great guy but went through some stuff so was impossible to reach by phone or email. I didn't want to ship the razors in case he didn't even live there any longer. Finally I heard from him and he was apologetic about his absence. He was ready to get the razors back. I took a look at them and hated them lol. My work just wasn't up to my current standard. So this time he said to just do what I wanted on them and here we have it. 4 razors in really traditional shapes considering what I do sometimes. I'll be relieved once these are back in his hands! lol

Last one...

sometimes the traditional forms look the best. they are traditional for a reason!

Anyway, love the work. Those look great.

They look fantastic! Good looking blades & great scales.

Zounds!

I like those alex :bow

He is a lucky guy ! I wish I could get the one and only Philadelph to rescale a couple of traditional vintage blades for me. :shrug: hint hint. :D

Wow, normally I'm a big fan of some crazy and exotic scales, but those look outstanding. Simple, yet beautiful. Great job :rock:

I've been meaning to ask you, too, what part of RI are you from? I grew up in West Warwick, and my parents still live there. Small state.. it's nice to see someone else from there :rock:

Very, Very, Sweet !!!!!!

I really like these Alex, not that I don't like most of yer artistic stuff but these really show off your attention to detail since there are no distractions from the work itself .... :tu

These are all around great resto's Alex. I'd sure be a happy camper if they were headed my way.

Thanks guys!

I'm not originally from here- just moved here because my girlfriend (fiancé actually- she hates when I just say 'girlfriend' even though it's technically still correct lol) is from RI. I now live in Wakefield on the border of Charlestown. I hate most of RI. I like that I can now walk to gorgeous beaches and some great mountain biking is close by though. So this area is cool.

Haha, yeah, nothing is too far from you in RI.. the good and the bad.

Alex,

Those are simply superb. Tasteful, stylish - just what a razor should look like. Stunning pieces of work!

Regards,
Robin

I love what you have done to these.
My favorite has to be the Spike with the G10 scales .I love it & I have a fondness for spikes.Paul

What are the colors on the last two?

wonderful work Alex!

what's the material on the green one (the first one)? acrylic?

Love these. :bow

G11

the execution is flawless as always, the shapes are great, traditional and in perfect balance with the blades. i'm sure the guy will be very very happy.

:rock::bow
Love that G11.

cool stuff Alex, very classy.

Indeed traditional for your usual surprises. I love the first razor a lot.

Very nice you always do great work especially with the wedges. Great job again!

Wow! I was out of town and missed these until now.
Huge thumbs up! The fit, finish and attention to detail is outstanding. It's nice to see the consistency of 4 razors in one place.
Truly professional work. :tu

very nice, Alex. What did you use to get that nice chamfer on the brown micarta? I was working on a similar pair and tried a router attachment on my dremel with little luck. Could just be my lack of experience with routers though...

I just eyeballed it on my belt sander. I'm pretty comfortable shaping like that by eye just through practice, etc. I don't think routers and scales go well together for the most part. Some guys may use a router, but it never gives enough contour IMO.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Beautiful. Really,your work is outstanding.:bow

wow :nj, some really nice lines on all of them :bow
