    Default The Black Peac0ck - Fremont Ohio - Thistle Cut. co.

    I can only go by the color that was stamped on this chunk of acrylic, it said "Black Peac0ck" another new color I just got in... I really tried to capture the real look here in the pics, but honestly this one has to be in hand to really appreciate the depth of color it has... There is Black and Gold, but with a green shimmering pearl throughout and tiny sparks of pink, just amazing.... Can you tell I like these Thistle razors

    The blade itself is NOS, and has a nearly flawless satin finish after I used the buffers, I went with bi-metal pins and washers and a black acrylic wedge...

    She is a solid 5/8+ and I can't wait to get her honed up so I can do a test shave ...

    Another nice one Glen! I share your enthusiasm for Thistle Cut straights.

    Nice one G. these new acrylics really rival the old celluloid.

    Oz man it is funny you said that,, My favorite all time set of scales, are the Ribbon Candy looking ones that came on the old Shumate Tonso razors (there is a pic in the club) and this set reminded me of those.... The more you look into them the more you see...
