The Gemstar Custom's version of a TI

This is the TI from this thread re-done the way I like it for me, myself, and I...

Original Factory TI http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ish-point.html


This is custom scaled in Molten Metal acrylic with a black acrylic wedge...

I took the mixed metal theme throughout the scales, the wedge and pivot pins and washers are layered in Brass and Silver with NiAg pins and triple stacked brass, SS, brass bullseyes...
The center pin is also bi-metal the pin is brass and the center post and outside conchos are silver...
Note the way the razor now sits pretty for pictures on the same glass base as it was on originally, the scales are now even and centered...

If you look very, very, close you can see that the TI rounded Spanish point has been squared up to a point that I like much better for more exact trimming...

The razor has now been honed on Naniwa SS through 12k and smoothed even more with 10 laps on a CeOx bench strop...

Drool! :dropjaw: More drool! :dropjaw:: Everything I could want in a razor and more! :tu: I read your original post on receiving this razor. :eek: TI wishes they could produce blades like this one!! :bow If I were you I would send TI a lint to your original thread and a link to this one. :idea: Whi knows, you may wind up scaling blades for TI! :nj

Thanks for sharing.

:dropjaw::eek::eek::eek:

Yeah, that works for me!

:)

Glen you are a show off! That is very nice indeed!

Take Care,
Richard

That is beautiful!!

Great Work :tu:tu

I was wondering, if you would be so kind as to let us know the total length of the cutting edge on that razor?

Thanks,
Richard

That's the model of the TI that started it all for me. When I decided to take up straight razor shaving I bought two razors ,a Bergischer Lowe and that TI. Your workmanship is once again stellar.

WHOA!!!

That is amazing Glen! Nice one!

Hmm... I don't know Glen. Your work is just so... meticulous. It screams of an obsessive-compulsive pragmatic personality. I really loved the way the stamina wood communicated a laid-back, zen mentality... chaos in the cosmos... This just looks too much like something you'd put on a pedestal in an art museum; Art is Dead.

;)

LOVE it! Especially what you did with the toe of the razor... very nice. :beer2:

You should send them (T.I.) the before/after images with the comments you made in each thread. :)

That thing looks gorgeous, Glen.

:bow:bow:bow:bow

That is a razor that is in my top 10. I love those scales!!!!! I have looked far and wide but can't find any of that material that is 6" or longer. Your work is very very nice. I have much respect for the people who can fabricate like this.
Great job Glen,
Bill Wilcox

eh, ... it's ok

(just kiddin' Glen)

Awesome.
