8/8 Graham - Custom Restore in Tiger Acrylic

For one of the guys outta the Great White North, this is a brand I had not seen before, Graham stamped Solingen, a big ole 8/8 shoulder-less
We went with the Tiger Acrylic and a matching wedge Pierre wanted it "Bright" :D
The blade was polished out to a Satin Glow the steel was just a bit dull so no pits of rust to deal with...
I can't wait for the test shave in the morning on this one..
even at 8/8 she still balances out to just behind the thumb notch...
The acyclic was polished out to 12k Micro-Mesh then PlastX, the pins are Nickel Silver with bi-metal washers..

That razor looks vaguely familiar. Have I seen it on youtube?

Once again Glen, you have done a beautiful job. I love satin finishes they always look so elegant.

I love this style of finish on my personal razors too, a nice satin, then just a touch of CrOx and Chrome red to give it some smooth glow...
I realize many people love the mirror but one scratch shows up so bad it drives me nutz :D

Good eye Garrit same color of scales but that Youtube one was a 5/8 Boker :)

Ok, you're definitely going to have to do that on the next blade I get from you.

I remember now the two bokers one in this color and one possibly stock.

Nice job, Glen. I really like the tiger acrylic. I think it will be really easy to find in the darker winter mornings of the Great White North. Congrats to the owner.

Is that a magnifying glass built into the Starrett ball peen hammer? Interesting idea. Starrett makes some great machinist tools.

Yet another perfect fit together! Striking.

Wowwww...Great job Glen, on a beautiful blade :bow. Love that shoulderless

Awesome as expected. i'm really intrigued by the hammer in the background pic.

Could I ask what grit you use for the satin finish?

Beautiful work Glen, very nice...

Looks great Glen! Fantastic work as always.

Yep, I've gotta say, I love the finish, and the acrylic, and the hammer.

Hey Glen ! ('Morning and Happy New Year all !)

Wow !...I mean WOWWWWW ! I am in awe...Magnificent. I am on cloud 9 !

Gentlemen:
As Glen mentioned, I wanted something funky for this pup. As I am a big fan of Glen's, I only gave him two criteria to follow (bright acrylic scales and NO blade regrind), and asked him to have fun, be creative, and amaze me. Well, hats off, 'cause MISSION ACCOMPLISHED beyond my expectations ! ;-)

Thanks loads again !

Here is a thread I did some time back..

Although that shows the basics, the only real trick to getting te look you want is how you work the razor on the buffers...

The blade and scales look great, your work always does.

You are not helping my hammer-AD, the other Had. I have hammers like Imelda Marcos has shoes.

Great work

Charlie

wow! love that blade!!!!

:bow:

As always, tremendous! Well Done :tu

Nice hammer!

Oh, the razor looks good too. Hehe.

Luv yer work bro. Always found 'mirrors' distracting :D

Looks great, Glen.

I'm as impressed as always. :)

glen, that is a beautiful piece of art! I LOVE the satin finish, I think satin metal finishes look so much sweeter than the high-polished look! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with my SRs when I send 'em to you in a few weeks! :rock:
