Kiku boshi SK-1 - G10 Red Devil

[Maximilian]

This is really a cool razor.
I had one over a year ago but it was merely for a cleanup and a honing.
This one needed a bit more TLC and new scales. G10 red with a devil theme. I have to tell you, it was a challenge. Because of the nature of the small rounded curves I had a real hard time hand sanding. The scales slipped my hands over 25 times and I had to take a break every so often due to cramps in my fingers from trying to get a firm grip. Even the blade restore was a mission. Had to use the lowest RPM on my buffer from fear the wheels would grab the razor. I had to leave just a few pits as they went way to deep. One patch of pitting looked like a bullet ricochet. But overall it turned out perfect. Honing is fun too. It's like doing the samba and throwing a frisbee at the same time. They do take a very sweet edge. Scales are G10 red and black G10 tapered wedge with the usual nickel silver, brass and SS hardware.
