Here are two razors that I have been messing with. The big razor is about 7/8 X 2 1/8 it is made of 1084. The smaller one is about 6/8 X 2 3/8 it ismade out of spring steel. I have had a good time playing with my forge.

Woah!
Number 2 is right up my alley. Don't get me wrong, they both are stunning.....but that fatboy has a great looking handle on it.
Nice work Charlie!
Very striking Charlie, those blades just glow!
Another pair of great blades, Charlie...
Great work Charlie. You definitely keep to your own style which I admire and applaud. Beautiful job on the mirror too.
Amazing skill to posses. Incredible!
Very nice razors indeed, I like the forged style. How does the spring steel one shave? I have a few truck springs left from knife making, I was thinking of making a few razors out of it, but I was a bit hesitant because of the lower carbon content.
Both freakin awesome Charlie. I love the finish on the handles, and the contrast between handle and blade is beautiful.

I was expecting Gillette lol. Very nice pieces. The fatboy handle looks great.

You Fella are very talented, the contrast between handle and blade is art. Beautiful. Thanks for showing us your work.
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".Quote:

The razors that I have made from it shave well and retain their edges The steel sparks like a simple high carbon steel.Quote:

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.
