    Cool Marsh & Brothers co. Ponds Works

    A "Roxo" for Roxojax Just a re-scale on this one in Amber Swirl acrylic with a Black wedge we went with triple Brass pins on this with a hidden surprise on the center pin.. the Razor is an heirloom and was in fantastic shape just a light hand polishing...

    This is the first Hollow Grind I have worked on from this company so I am rather looking forward to the test shave from it... thinking maybe the Charnely Forest for the finisher

    Beautiful scales bro ! Remind me of honey horn.

    Nice choice with the acrylic, the color is beautiful. Nice slick lines on the scales too. I like it.

    Nice, I like the scale shape.
    Is the third pin for show, or does the tang sit on it?

    A loaded question but many are in this hobby..
    I, do not rest blades on the 3rd pin spacers, nor have I ever seen a Vintage razor in good shape use them as a tang rest...

    Here is an old thread about the subject http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...bout-pins.html

    The one thing that you really need to be careful of when building scales with the 3rd pin is not creating a stress point in the scales by either pushing the scales out to much, or sucking them in to much

    You would have to go quite a bit back in time to find a set, but I have used that reversed Spanish point look for the wedge in the past, Roxojax found a set I had built like that and linked it to me for the design...

    G,

    I like the look of that toe. Reminds me of a pulpit/bowsprit on a sailboat.

    Glen, the reason I ask is that I have been given a razor to rescale, which has a third pin, and the tang sits on the third pin spacer. The blade width is smaller than the tang also, really big, chunky tang.

    Sorry this is more a workshop question.......
