    Default Interesting razor design -- "The Plagiarist"

    This razor is a departure for me, mainly because I didn't design it. If it looks familiar... I call it "The Plagiarist."

    I made this one out of 1084, mirror polished everywhere but the hollows. It's almost 1" wide but is ground like a 6/8.

    I'm keeping this one for myself, since I haven't kept any of my good razors to date. (I have a couple that didn't quite make the grade...)

    Robert's design works really well for my face. Copying it was instructive and gave me a few ideas for my own fixed-handled razor. Doing the scalloping was fun, although it didn't come out completely even. I'll have to give it another shot soon.

    That's our Glen...SO giving!

    Looks fantastic, and I love the name too! I think what's called for here is a shave-off! I'll join Glen in contributing my time for the cause.

    After Glen and Smoke, I will also be willing to give my unbiased opinion of how it shaves. That's the beauty of SRP. We are just a bunch of selfless givers.
