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.

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.

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.

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.
