Coochie Razor

**HNSB** · 02-06-2011, 09:38 AM

This is my first full custom restore.
It's a cut down Clauss dressed up in acrylic.

The razor had a nasty chip in the toe, so I ground it down to a much shorter round point. I also knocked down the monkey-tail a bit. I figure if it is to actually be used as a coochie razor it should be short and not pointy anywhere. I buffed out all of the rust and took it to a matte finish, with some of the deeper pits still left in it. (for some reason my pictures make it look like there's rust or gunk in the stabilizers... There is none... It's very odd that it looks that way)

The wedge is lead, pins are brass, washers are domed brass.

I threw in a balance shot... I'm not sure what's ideal for a balance point; the lead wedge puts it just behind the tang pin.
I already honed it, and didn't have any trouble with honing or stropping due to the balance. The short length did take a little getting used to...

Looks good, I'm sure it'll make a great coochie.
I dig that acrylic.

Great work. Where did you get the acrylic?

**Maxi** · 02-06-2011, 11:08 AM

Nice work. I'm also digging that acrylic. Is that referred to as "smoke"?

I think it's called "Wood Pen Pro". It's one of the sites listed in the workshop stickies.

Very cool...looks just like it was original. I like that acryllic more everytime I see it used. Nice work!

Great save, looks very nice and the scales are great.
So.. how does it shave?

most excellent! You did a great job with the domed washers and the pins.

Nice work, but not what I was expecting based on the thread title...

Please educate me: Why "coochie razor"???

Anyway, the acrylic scales are awesome! Nice touch with the balancing act on a mag...
