Love the contrast!! Very well done and thanks for sharing!
I agree with the others, the contrast from forged tang to polished blade really makes the pieces for me.
Great job.
Thank all of you for the kind words and feedback.

Thank you Max, I like it when people can look at a razor and say "Charlie made that one".
I would recommend using a known steel. It is hard to say about the springs that you have, you would have to do some testing. I have made several razors out of this particular spring and tested them over a period of time. The razors that I have made from it shave well and retain their edges The steel sparks like a simple high carbon steel.

Very nice, I'm a big fan of the kamisori style anyway. Is that about a half hollow?

Amazing! I'm a huge fan of the engraving on the blade, the placement is perfect
Very nice work! To be able to do this is a fine ability. Ohhhh they must be nice to shave with(and look at)! FINE!
Absolutely breath taking, I have not seen a razor that I like so much as the 'Fatboy'. I have looked at a lot of blades since I got 'the bug' and this takes the cake.
Beautiful work Charlie.
