I am really, really, going to try the two 8/8 for awhile this one and the Filly I just did, they are both for me... The question is how long will I keep them

I just can't ever seem to grow fond of the bigger blades... This time I planned it out and customized them to my specs...So I am really trying hehehe...

Awesome!
Really well done.

Very nice work

The problem with the bubinga scales was, that they are pre-made in one-fits-all design:

Straight Razor Handle Bubinga wood for Blades up to 8/8 bei eBay.de: Shaving (endet 01.06.09 11:12:18 MESZ)

And like I always say, one-fits-all is in some cases a problem. This prefab handles will never fit, like custom scales, that are alignet of just one blade. Especially the 8/8 Friodurs are blades, that are different to most of the other blades out there in some points.

That looks fantastic Glen. I've got the 7/8, & it's big. I hear the 8/8 are HUGE! Good luck with them & i hope you grow to love them this time!

It looks awesome! The scales match the blade perfectly.

Not my preferred size but nonetheless a work of art.
That black acrylic rocks

Beautiful choice of scales. The design and material allow that razor the classy look it deserves. Very nice indeed.

I think you nailed it Buddel, those sure look like them, except the pivot pin.....
