I have been messing around with some purpleheart and different finishes. I liked the look of the grain of the wood and wanted to keep it, but the oils I was using kept darkening it alot so decided to try a water-based finish. I think it turned out ok. Anyway the razor is a tiny 4/8 Koken Barber's Co. I am rather disappointed with this one not because of how it turned out, but because of the fact that I had to make new scales for it. I copied the design of the original ones which were a very nice black bakelite with orange marbelized swirl look to them which I broke while repinning them. The slightest tap snapped them.
