8/8's, bone, pretty hollow

Here is the latest razor that I put together. The blade is O1 the jimps are wire wrap, the scales are cow bone. This is pretty hollow for an 8/8 smiling blade. Thanks again to Bob Allman @ OCD razors for helping me with my grinding.

That is beautiful! Very nice work.

Nice, I like the jimping. It's amazing how many truely gifted custom razor manufactors SRP is developing it's a testament to those that know helping those that are starting out to "hone" their skills.

Speechless........................................ .:rock:

Well done on the grind! Looks beautiful Charlie. It's just my thing, except I get water everywhere & would be terrified about what'd be going on under the wire! Apart from that, I love the smile, the grind, the scale material & shape, the tail & the size.

:dropjaw:

That is great, Charlie! I would love to take a closer look at that beauty, you do VERY good work and that one looks like a gem!

The wire is bedded in epoxy, and has epoxy smoodged all around it. I do not think it will rust from underneath. I think it will be fine I have a test razor that is similar that I have been using and it has not rusted yet.

Thanks for the kind words.

The pinning is straight forward. The washers are solid brass turned on a lathe. They have a 1/16 hole and a slight counter sink to peen the pin into.

I am not sure about the shiny part I might put a satin finish on it. I am just not a shiny finish guy.

Thanks to everybody for the kind words.

Charlie

Wow.

That is just a spectacular looking razor -- the smile, the grind, and perhaps most of all, the unique jimps. It's not every day that you see a totally unique take on razor construction, but your jimps are a new one on me. My compliments on your skills.

I bet it was a blast to grind. So how is the feedback now?? Like buttering toast i bet,and we all love THAT sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really cool!
