    Default 7/8 Gentlemans straight in cocobolo

    Here is a razor I finished recently from my first batch of HT-ed blades:




    Steel is O1 HT-ed to about 60-61HRC, width is 7/8, grind is quarter hollow, mirror polish on the whole blade.

    The scales are made from cocobolo, wedge is glued grenadil, the pivot has two stainless washers and a torx screw.

    Final honing and shaving will be today, but judging from the previous razor which was the same steel and HT, this razor should shave just as well!

    Please let me know how you like it!

    Clean and fluent, good job
    I normally don't like wooden scales all that much, but Cocobolo is the exception!
    A great, classic material imho.

    I can only add agreement that the execution is beautiful, the lines are gorgeous. When I say 'clean', I mean that the basic form and execution are beautiful, requiring no embellishment or fancy treatments (worked spine, engraving, goldwash) to look beautiful.

    Fabulous work, Jeness. Really really nice.
