Anchor with gold wedge and celluloid scales

This razor is stamped as ‘ “Manganese” Steel ‘ on the front and Anchor Brand on the rear. The blade got a clean up, but not polished. It has a nice patina, being very dark on the tail that I decided to keep.

The scales were replaced with celluloid. Originally I thought the blue has a sea type feel, to compliment the Anchor blade. The washers are brass spacer beads that I sanded down to a thickness I liked, with brass pins.

The wedge is gold. While making some gold scales, from gold flakes and epoxy resin, I had some remaining slurry. I made a mold to pour the residue into. I made it at about 6"x1" and a tappered thickness, so a quick slice and get a wedge. Pending how well this holds up, I'll be playing around with that idea some more.

Wow that is really nice, I like it :)

Everything works together and it looks somehow vintage with a hint of contemporary

That looks great! :bow

I totally agree with Lee, thats both classic and modern at the same time. Nice!

I really like the look of that wedge. Do you have any more pics?

Thanks Grant,

My photography skills are pretty poor. Below is one of the pics that kind of shows off the wedge better.

I also have many more images of this one right here:
