Thread: Custom Mahogany Razor

I'm guessing the people that graded it did not know a thing about straight razors. So they were only looking at the form. At first I was turned off by the harshness of some of the responses but when I looked at the razor I noticed something. The razor would be impossible to hold with a standard grip. Given that you also made toiletry bag means you want the razor to be used. However, I cannot see using it. Though the razor does look pretty as far as lines and material used.

Anyway, I made some scales one time that looked cool but made it impossible to hold, thus strop. So I had to take them off. I am total amateur when it comes to making scales so I have kept it simple by making duplicates of the original scales. I still not make the wedges right. But I will keep on trying. Maybe in a few years, or dozen, I will get there. Hey, maybe never.
