    Default Top of the Scrap Heap

    This was sooooo close to being a primo shaver. A little too much grinding and the middle went to tin foil.
    Crap!

    The blade is 8/8 full hollow, mirror finish with some razzle dazzle.
    Scales are Russian Mammoth Bark Ivory(they WILL be recycled)

    Someday I will clone this blade and the Mammoth will live again!!!!

    Is the steel stable below that?
    It actually looks kind of cool.

    The blade and scales look alive right now. That is a beauty of a razor, it looks like it is ready to scare some poor defenseless hairs off of somebodies face.

    I lost a few whiskers just looking at the pictures.

    Very fine work sir. Sorry to hear about the over grinding. That mammoth ivory looks very cool.

    Man! Too bad about the blade. The scales are super!
