Ern - 6/8 ATOR "Tangerine Dream"

Erick you might get this back ;) I love this razor plain and simple...
It just fits my hands perfect, and feels so nice, if it was a spike point you would never see it again :D
This is a brand new color of acrylic that Erick/Ookla said "Go for it" sight unseen It is a Tangerine Orange with Gold highlights running through it I used a Gold Wedge to set it all off, tried out a new end design and this is the outcome, all held together with Tri-metal washers, pins, and square center post...
The slight imperfections in the steel are being picked up way more on the macro lens then in hand... Will be heading home to ya today Erick, honest, really I won't forget.... :rofl2::rofl2: Maybe !!!!!

I think I have seen that razor before....

Nice work glen!

Strange colours, but they work very well. Nice razor!

Here's the soundtrack:
YouTube - Tangerine Dream - Live Berlin Tempodrome 09-21-2006

Cool shape to the razor and the scales, nice stuff there Glen!

Love the swayback on the ATOR tang's. Keep getting outbid on these on fleabay. Love the orange scales. Will be tough to misplace this one.

now that is one looker.
I craved tangerines after I saw the scales :)

It looks like candy.

I was at Lee Valley and I saw these:

Acrylic Acetate Pen Blanks - Lee Valley Tools

Acrylic Acetate pen blanks and I was wondering whether they could be turned into scales.

I think they might be just a wee bit too small, but I wouldn't know. They'd make some nifty scales though if well cut and polished.

Great craftsmanship and very unique!:dropjaw:

Nice craftsmanship Glen, as always.
I don't care for the color; but variety, she's the spice of life, eh?

Very unique and beautiful design. Scales work well together with that color and the finish is very "Glen". PERFECTO!!!

G ~ Your scales have a distinct essence about them. This one is very "Grand Marnier" or maybe "Cointreau". TASTEEEEEE !!! :beer1:

Yeah baby... that's orange alright. Reminds me of the same Ern I made in G10 Hunter orange. :D

Great work brother, Ern worthy. Nice touch on the design and third pin too. Keep 'em coming G.

nice work on those scales glen,thats a sweet combo color,and those are your best pictures, it looks like your getting that light box dialed in and getting to know your new camera,lookn good!!

Definately stands out in the crowd..great work as always Glen.

Glen, looks great! I love the shape of that Ator blade.

So Erick, ya gotta love him, says in a PM yesterday, Glen don't drive all the way to town just to mail my razor, after all it is your vacation :p

So I used that as an excuse to do a full shave with the "Tangerine Dream" this morning before it went to the PO...
The test shave was great but the whole shave was awesome, I really like this blade, just smooth as can be... Used the Shaptons from 1-30 and followed that with 10 laps on the CrOx Bench strop and 15 on the CeOx bench strop...

Nice, Nice !!!! :D

You need 6 inch long blanks at the least

Check out www.woodpenpro.com and look for the 6"x1"x1" pen blanks, they can be cut and used... The Mondo Rod I guess could be used too, although I have not tried it myself...
You have to cut thicker blanks (3/16) then you would for actual wood then thin them up from the backside as the last step...

I would not recommend all this unless you have two things in yer shop
1. A table saw with a very thin kerf rip blade, and a reverse side rip fence...
2. a belt sander, preferably 4x36
without these two tools, doing these acrylic scales is a ton of hard work...

Late to the party on this one.

Those scales really have some pop to them. Nice work!
