    Default It's Shell Time - 4 in various shell

    Here are four razors done in shell type materials, that got completed this weekend.


    Two Boker 1056 were a pleasure to work with these iconic blades.
    **************************************************


    1st Boker in Abalone, black backing/clear front. Acrylic wedge powder blue/white flecks, mild dome to stainless washers, with nickle rods.
    **************************************************


    2nd Boker in Paua, black backing/clear front. Acrylic wedge frost red/black streaks, mild dome to stainless washers, with nickle rods.
    **************************************************


    3rd AIC in Abalone, red backing/clear front. Acrylic wedge brown/red streaks, heavy doming to stainless washers, with nickle rods.
    **************************************************


    4th Dovo in Abalone celluloid. Gold wedge (real gold flakes mixed with epoxy resign). Brass star washer (from beads), brass rod.
    **************************************************

    Many more images available here.
    My regular site needs update, but these 4 have may more detail shots at the link noted

    Gorgeous. Did you do the spines on the Bokers or were they already filed?

    Great work on all of them.
    I like the Dovo, there's a lot going on with the Abalone but still has soft colors.
    Well Done!
