what I'm shaving with these days.
So did you make this razor? Tell us more about it.......
This razor is hand forged from o1 carbon tool steel. It was triple quenched and normalized to around 62 HRC. the handle is bamboo with nickle silver pins. It's a slight bit over 6 " when closed. The blade is 3.5 Inch in length X 12/16 in width at the tip convex, hand polished and honed. A pleasure to shave with.
Awesome.
Do you mean the blade grind itself is convex, as opposed to concave, like most other razors?
Yes, it is.
That is one really good looking blade, I love the profile.
Tell us more about the grind,
way cool!!

Not much more to say really. It's convex so it takes a bit of doing to grind and hone properly if you are not used to this kind of a geometry.
Beautiful. Would make a great limited series ...
How is the balance with bamboo scales? I always thought they would look good, but wondered about maybe being too light...
Thats awsome looking, everthing about it. Could you post a pic of the section of the blade to show the grind?
