    Default Toxic Geek Straight Razor

    The first thing out for my "not workshop" for 2012.

    The idea was to do a frame back, with ti side.
    90MCV8 (02) blade, TA6V4 plate on each side, PCB piece for the handle.

    I'm really happy with the result, The shaving is quite soft, some leather work and it will really great

    I named that one the Toxic Geek Straight Razor

    It's more or less a 5/8

    I like those razors a lot. You had a very good idea on the use of materials and how you put them together. That is some really innovative work.

    I thought " Torxic " was more appropriate.
    Like the removable spine idea.

    The honing is really easy, for the stropping it's a bit more complicate because of the lightness . I'm more used to heavy straight. And that one is really light.

    Do you always shave in the gravel?

    That is the first time i have that sort of question .

    I generaly shave in the bathroom, but to take picture i don't have a good light. i prefer natural light just before the end of the day, under the shadow of the north face of my house .

    With the sun the pcb is more or less translucent


    I could clean a bit that part of the blade
