    That shows in this peice. I look at some custom razors and I see rounded corners and edges where the maker apparently was more concerned with making it shiny than keeping the work clean and crisp. Ken did a great job on this keeping the work clean and crisp. I don't see anythign on this that has been rounded off with a buffer.

    Really really clean and the symetry looks dead on as well.

    I don't know that I have seen any of Ken's other pieces. Ken do you have a website?

    I love the wedge and the flush pins. The wood is gorgeous too. Sweet is the right word to use!

    Very nice indeed! Not a big fan of round points but that one just seems to flow so well.

    Beautiful creation Kenny. Any wet shaver would be proud to have that in their rotation.

    Hey Pixelfixed I did see that one (liked it too). I didnt' realize Kenny had made that one. I guess I haven't been on her elong enought to really recognize everyone enough to connect the dots yet. Thanks for pointing that out.

    Hey Bruno, the spine is a scoach under 1/4 so I built it up as necessary when setting the bevel to achieve a 4:1 ratio which is normally what I shoot for. Ken
