The Football Razor!
I got this great old timer from a gentleman on this very forum, spent about 24 or so hours sanding, then put her in some new scales! Walnut with bone inlays. To be truthful, the intent wasn't to make it look like a football, but once the wood took on it's final color after a layer of polyurethane, it was evident that I had created... The Football Razor!
P.S. I got the idea for the shape from a superb Joseph Rogers 8/8 razor that BigBubba resored (thanks for the idea):

Oh man!! That's a beauty. I think the scales look great man, excellent job. It does kind of remind you of a football, doesn't it, LOL... But the shape, no way. They look great man.

You have got the TD, now what are you going to do for the extra point?

Extra point is GOOD~! I put an edge on her today and shaved. I used a Noxzema - like concoction that mastershake made for pre-shave, and a pumpkin spice scent Bald Frog soap. Smoothest shave I've had to date. Followed up with some splash and slap Pinaud Clubman.You have got the TD, now what are you going to do for the extra point?
Thanks for the kind words all!

Cage, wonderful as always! And that is going to be one heck of a shaver.
Still, when I hear football I think of the round ball, I'm more familiar with it.

A little pig skin to go with your boar brush. I like it a lot!
