Mutant Hybrid #2

As soon as I shaved with my first one of these http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...ade-thing.html I started looking for the next one, I like it that much. The shortened Bengall with the pitting on the spine and bent tang issues in the back of the cupboard looked like a good choice.
I actually finished the blade for this months ago, but because I spent most of 2010 away from home I've only just finished it now. The old tang has been ground down to make a new slim tang which is sandwiched between the 2 piece acrylic handle. The blade has been re-shaped and blued and fixed in the handle with epoxy and a NiAg pin through the original pivot hole.
I've made some minor improvements on the original design and this thing feels great in the hands.
Hope you like it
Grant

Nice job btw.

I really like it, Great Job!
The only problem is I don't know which I like better, the razor or the case.
Outstanding.

You have a great eye for design, the razor and box look like a million bucks. The rough finish and knot on the box are genious. The razor has great lines.

Very nice baldy!! Razor looks mean and has a certain elegance to it at the same time. The custom case for it is absolutely beautiful as well!

Thanks Charlie, that means a lot coming from you. I am a huge fan of your work. I'm sure your aware that the case is inspired by what I've seen on your site.
