Finally Finished 6/8s "The Forever Project"

Well, I finally finished up these 2 Razors. Tough to do as I continue to see details I believe need work. I am, however, finished with this pair. This really was an enjoyable project. Biggest problem was sorting out the ideas. That and doing the wood work. Metal is fairly easy to work (more or less) as it tends retain shape and doesn't move around like wood.

I was shooting for clean lines and balance. The stands I hope, come across as a piece of quality furniture for the bathroom of which the Mrs. will approve. Then I realized that every quality tool needs a felt lined box for transport and storage.

The details:
O1, HT by Mike Blue to 59 Rc.
Length is just over 7".
Blades are near wedge and 6/8, edge to spine and just over 2" long.
The razor stands are Jobillo.
Boxes are Oak

Thanks for looking.

Gorgeous I'd like to have one hahaha some day

Coincidently, I discovered how difficult it can be to photograph blades, and get a decent pic.

Hats off to all of you guys who consistently post quality pics that give credit to your razors (and knives).

Very nice razors, outstanding work!

Certainly can be proud of those. They look great!

You have my vote! How do they shave?

Thanks guys. Great shave, better than my Henckel.

Omg, I have serious RAD lol. I want both!!! very nice work. I absolutly love them!!!

Those are some good looking razors. It is a good feeling to shave with a self made razor.

Enjoy.

Jeff, that is really nice work. Clean and basic, gorgeous.

I also love the crosses on them, It's great to see that you're proud of being Christian and that you show it in your handywork.

Those are beautiful great job.

Well done on all fronts. The blades look great and the boxes and stands also look the part. Well done.

Stu

Beautiful. Elegant. Thanks for sharing.

I got to see the beauty in person and I can honestly say that they look great. I should have spent more time with them both.

Thanks for the props you guys. Much appreciated. And yes it was nice to shave with a blade I built myself.

Jeff

Excellent work all around! The lined cases were a nice touch and they look great !
