Custom Soligen in Cocobolo
Hi I have been working on this little custom project for a little while since I kindly recieved a few exotic wood blanks off Bill AKA Beejay, well as soon as I saw them there were a few that jumped out at me but the one Cocobolo did shout at me to do something with, well I already owned a very nice vintage blade that already had been restored, but I was never really keen on the scales even though they were original, anyway on to the scales and build, I manage with a great deal of caution to get the Cocoblo down to a thickness of 2mm each scale, then i glued a pair of 1mm faux ivory liners taking each scale up to 3mm, I already sourced the nickel silver pins plus stainless steel washers, I also decided to make my own sterling silver wedge out of a old but of no value George the second seconda crown, anway the work was very much enjoyable but very labour intensive, I was pleased with the finished razor, but that's my call, so now the reveal, hope you all enjoy he razor as much as I did putting it together.PS sorry about the quality of the photo's I was in a hurry and the light was poor, I will post more phoo's in the future/
