Excellent, your innovation with fabricating the different parts of this razor make it a real work of art. Love it.
Fine job.:nj
Good idea. Nicely done!
How cool is that! I love the fact you've restored a vintage Army issue razor in such a thoughtful way. Great to see some British DPM on there with 9mm shells thrown into the mix! I'm too lazy to make micarta for knife scales due to the size and time required but you've inspired me to make some for razor scales. Thanks for sharing, if I had that it would bring a smile to my face every time I had a shave with it!
Style in every detail, even in photos. Very beautiful razor.
I'm aware of the process but I've never fancied it for a big set of scales to put on a full sized knife. I never even thought of doing razor scales until I saw yours. I could manage that easy enough I reckon, thanks again for the inspiration! Pure laziness on my part, I know a guy that does whatever colours I ask for for next to nothing so I let him make a mess instead of doing it myself. That's fine for big knife scales but it would be cheating for my own razors. I've got 2 pair of olive lightweight trousers set aside for micarta collecting dust, I'll have a go when I get a spare minute. Looking forward to pics of the 'Redcoat razors', they sound interesting! If you're ever after anything British to go with your collection let me know...
I'm always up for something British!
Here's a pic of the VR stamped Wade & Butcher I'm building scales for. I paired her up with my VR stamped Martini Henry Rifle and a .455 Cartridge I cast and loaded.
