Dovo Inox 9/16 in faux MOP

Here is a razor that came to me for a face lift... I forgot to take a side shot of "before"... but..these inox scales are about the worst looking scales in existence. Here are a couple "before" pics...with the factory scales and terrible pin job... man.. I think China can do better than this.

Soo. .the blade has a nice goldwash, so, I decided to run with the silver/gold theme. Silver washers, brass pins, black acrylic wedge with aluminum and brass liners

Awesome!

I love the detail on the wedge! How did you scoop it out to a "V" like that? Or is that a trade secret...? :D Hehe!

Beautiful. Love how the toe shape on the scales matches the french point on the blade. Great semblance with matching color and feel.

Brad,
Amazing. As always, you are the best! Love the wedge, love the brass over silver... just an all-out classy job!

Beautiful , simple, and classy...No need to add anything else here. Great job!

Sweet!!
I love how you did the wedge. It's like the bowtie on a tux.
The perfect finishing touch.

Love the MOP & wedge. VAST improvement on original .

Hello, Undream,

That razor reflects the touch of an artist and a craftsman. You have given it a distinct personality. Very well done, sir. Congratulations.

Regards,

Obie

Damn that wedge looks sweet! When the razor is closed, does the blade's tip nest inside that wedge? Meaning, if you didn't have that V filed out would anything hit the wedge?

Very well done Brad! :tu :tu The faux MOP and wedge fit the style of the blade perfectly. Anyone would be proud to have that beauty in their rotation.

Nice job! I like the way you did those scales, they really suit the razor well.

Yeah, i wanted the razor to fit into the V, so, yes...without it filed it would have bumped the wedge

NICE FLOW!!!!!I might have to copy this one, very nice indeed!

Thats really nice. I like the wedge and I can only imagine how hard it was to make it.
Thanks,
Trey

Definitely one of your best Brad...
It does have a "take me to a black tie affair" look to it... Bravo !!!

UPGRADE! Very nicely done

That is a beautiful razor, Brad. The materials, the shape, the perfectly tight seams and workmanship... there was a sharp intake of breath on this end!
