Manaslu M-55 - G10 Red

This was a real fun project.

Those Manusla M-55 Japanese (Western style) razors are quiet nice, sharp and good looking. It was decided that Red G10 would match both the red "55m etching and storage box. Design had to stay traditional and classic. I also decided to add a tapered blue G10 wedge to match the rest of the blade's blue etching. Pins are nickel silver and washers stacked SS and Brass.

Nice looker. Very clean and stylish!

Max,
I am sure you know this by now Maetsro...but, "YOU ARE DA MAN" :rock::tu. Not only does the red match the box and the M55 writing, but the blue wedge also matches with the other writing on the blade. Nice match making.

So, not only are you making Maxterpieces, you are also a matchmaker :nj.

Who's the lucky owner of this beautiful work of art? Whoever you are...CONGRATULATIONS :tu

wow,
DO they still make these?
How do they shave.?

Absolutely superb Max! Stunning razor.

I dig. :beer1:

That is beautiful! Like all your work , it has impeccable taste to it,,,,,ME LIKES A LOT!:D

i really love this

Extremely nice!

What a nice razor. As always...well done Max!

I like that a lot!

I can't put my finger on what exactly, but it reminds me of something happy from my childhood. It's about the only time I've looked at a razor and had that level of feeling about it.
