    Default B J Eyre

    Here's a BJ Eyre that I found in an antique shop. First faux frameback I've worked on, and I really enjoyed it. Had a bit of rust, so took quite a bit of work. I originally had different scales on it, but just wasn't happy with the final look, so I remade them in ebony.

    Those scales are fantastic! I've never seen an ebony set look that good. Very nicely done.

    Great work on both the blade and razor.

    That's a very very nice razor.

    you have an interesting Eyre

    I like the design and color of the scales - they match the blade well

    Nice work!

    Nice job. I bet that shaves as good as it looks.
