Well I managed to snag this guy off eBay for a steal but it had horrible scales and was in need of a new set. It took me a long time to finally get around to making some but I'm finally done. They are ebony with a horn wedge and suit the shape and age of the blade well I think. I just love that the grain and color of the ebony came out so well. Oh and now my other one has someone his age to play with. :rofl2:

You've just inspired me to re-commence making ebony scales :) I love their subtle beauty and strength.
I'm honoured sir. Thank you. I do my best.Quote:

I love the way these razors look. Thanks very much for posting!
My pleasure regularjoe. They are things of beauty for sure.
Well the test shave went poorly. It seems I still don't have the hang of honing wedges yet. It has been re-honed and I will try again in a few days.
