I normally don't do a "balance" shot, but sometimes it just too much fun to pass up. No gimicks on this pic, it's right at the piviot.
.hope ya'll enjoy!!

John, you have raised the ideals of quality of design and fabrication significantly since you started your works. As a sometimes jeweler I can appreciate much of the background labor in your pieces. The design aspect is what I personally cannot approach. You have carved out a portion of the razor art which is distinctly and definitely yours and are sharing it with us.

It is interesting to me that there has been a back channel bit going on about "Balance." Nuff said. The razor you made; such a mild term, should hone easily as the equal weights will allow it to lie flat on the hone while honing normally. It would take a special kind of person to hone and delight in the quality of your razor while shaving. I fervently hope he does!
Please keep them coming!
