custom 6/8 French Point

**MileMarker60** · 04-11-2011, 09:43 PM

6/8 French Point.
Scales are gray G10 with yellow acrylic wedge silver pins and domed washers
This one I did a little different. Cutting edge is 2.5" instead of the more common 2 3/4" but tried to keep the overall length about the same.

I just finished a shave with this beautiful razor and I have nothing but praise. I like the looks, I like the length of the blade, I liked the balance, I liked the hand fit but most of all I enjoyed the superb edge. This is one of the most efficient and comfortable shaving experiences I have had. And I have some magnificent razors from the best of the best. It is with no hesitation whatsoever that I would recommend you own one of Brian's razors if you get the opportunity.
Congratulations Brian, it warms my heart to be a part of welcoming an American craftsman. All God's speed with your endeavor.

Wow!

I bet the shorter blade makes for a wonderful shaver. My Duck special# 1 is short also, and just a pleasure. Gorgeous work!

Very, Very nice work. Sounds like it shaves as good as it looks.

Great design Brian and it sounds like we have a winner. Get this evaluation in the SRP Review section. Keep up the good work.

well done, I like it.

Thanks for the nice words. There are still a number of things to work on but their coming along.
I'm just happy most have turned out to be shavers instead of paperweights.

Looks fantastic. I really like your customs. They have very classy and clean curves and lines.

That's an absolutely gorgeous French point. I've always had a soft spot for French point razors, and this certainly is a stellar example.

Do you make these just for you? I'd love to get my hands on something like that...

Beautiful work! To me, French points are the most elegant-looking razors out there.
