Beam me up, Scotty!
The customer wanted to have a very special razor - and here it is...
This razor is a beautifull 8/8 Picard. I dont wanted to regrind or buff the razors to much. The condition is good and for a little cosmetics I dont wanted to change the blade more than necessary.
But the handle is from black buffalo horn with an metall inlay. It´s a littel communicator button from the USS Enterprise. This is Jean-Luc Picards official straight razor (originally it is from his grandfather Wallace - thats because its a W. Picard
). The wedge is from a reconed stone.

I love that blade! Nice job on the scales too. What inspired you to 'make it so' curvy (sorry someone had to do it).

The shape of the handle was the wish of the customer. He liked this handle from me: Fine Razors - J. Rogers mit Büffelhorn

I've just been enjoying the razors in your gallery, I really like the way you use very modern scale shapes on vintage blades. What are those pins you use?

A razor even a Klingon would love. Nice, stylish but not too stylish.

Make it so!
Well Done, Mr. Buddel!
