    Thumbs up twin blue eyed beauties

    I made 1 for a man in Dallas and liked it so much I made me one too!

    They are 8/8 full hollow mirror finish, black micarta wedge with paua shell scales. The true color is the blue.

    As always, thanks for looking

    Bob

    Beautiful scales, which one is yours? The one with the thumb notch/slight humpback or the other one? They are both great looking but if it was me I think I'd go for the more utilitarian one without the thumb notch. Then again if I was looking at it for anything other then shaving the fancy one would be an easy choice.

    Always good to have double the pleasure and double the fun! Beautifully crafted, and the blue paua scales are stunning..twin blue eyed beauties indeed! I would be proud to own either, which is a good thing as one will be heading my way soon. Thanks Bob!

    They are both beautiful Razors, but the one with the thumb and finger notches really speaks to me. TopCat, you are a lucky man, enjoy!
