Custom 8/8 Barber's Notch in red horn.

8/8 Barber's notch that will be heading to lz6
He was looking or something red, so I started looking around to see what I had.
At the bottom of my pile I found a piece of dyed red horn, so I thought I would give it a try.
I have to say about half through sanding it, I thought for sure I would throwing it in the trash.
I decided leave the face of the horn as it, with imperfections and all. I thought, if it happen to polish up OK, the imperfections for give it an old/worn look to it.
Once I started polishing it, I really like how it was turning out. It's almost a 2-tone color (which doesn't really come through in the pics)
Anyway, her she is

well done, I like it!

Stylish and impressive. The razor which one wants to touch, to held, to try.

Here is another pic, tried to get the 2-toned'ish look if it after shaping.

Simply gorgeous. What i want to know is how did you get your jimps so uniform...steel ordered today to make a few more...

looks terrific. the blade and scales look flawless. hope it shaves as good as it looks!

You do realize that you aren't supposed to make his cooler than mine. I guess I'll just have to order another to top it. That is amazing, yes I still love mine, but wow!

Looking great! Keep it up Brian!

I wouldn't go that far but I do appreciate the nice words.
For the most part, I'm just have fun making them.

Brian, that is a very nice looking razor with classic lines plus some. Well done :tu

Bob

Those scales are awesome.. Really do it for me.
Aaaand.. looks like you've been more adventurous with the grinding. The size of the edge bevel seems to have shrunk from previous ones ;)

Red horn. I see it for the first time now and I am really impressed. Really nice looking.
Thx for sharing.

Very nice work Brian, it just looks perfect. I'm sure Bob will be more than satisfied with this baby for a very long time!

So, how long is your waiting list by now? :deal:

Oh, that is nice!!!! Wow!!
