"Save the turtle", a 13/16 custom from OCD
This one was supposed to be a 7/8 covered tang blue madrone wood for M in DC. But I screwed up the design and the grinding,
so instead of throwing it on the scrap heap I reworked it and threw on these celluloid tortoise shell scales from a sheet I've had laying around for a while. It is full hollow, near mirror with a brass wedge. Not bad for one that almost didn't make it.
As always, thanks for looking

If I could succeed a tenth as well as you screw up I would die a happy man. That is a sweet looking razor, I love the worked back, and the matching notched scales, and the blade.... Well basically I really like the look of your razor, way to go!!
