Amazing work!! i always like seeing what you custom guys come up with, it's always a treat. Thanks for posting it!

Cedric, that blade is beautiful! I really like the design of the spine. Impressive work as usual :tu

The shape is beautiful, it is a very old looking design but you have given it your own modern accent also. Great work!

More beautiful work! You always impress.

Cedric you are the man!!! It is one thing to have an idea in your head and you create it, it is something so very awesome when you can take someone else's idea on paper and bring it to life. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous razor. Nice and clean.

This is absolutely beautiful. I love the old-school designs for customs.

You pull off classic and modern in the same functional piece of art! FANTASTIC!

Thanks very much for sharing this razor with us. I really think it's wonderful!

If it were me (and I could actually do that), I would have swaged the grob instead of giving it a flat face.

However, this is simply the best classic + modern design I've seen. BEAUTIFUL work. Simply beautiful.

Nice one, old school, nice to see a custom without a huge blade well done!

Beautiful razor Cedric. Your work is amazing... :bow

Very, Very Nice! I like it a lot! Great job and so different to see in a custom!

BTW, how did you do those brass collars?

Oh my god,.....that's beautiful. It's classic.

Your logo seems to be deeply etched. Have you done etching once or few times? Love everything about this razor.

that is very very nice !!!! great job on that !

I have to admit, that spine work is awesome!

Another master craftsman at work. Perfect!

beautifully executed. well done !!
Adam

Notches always look good, but THAT NOTCH is a spin on the classic, executed very well my friend!! I also like the stubby tang/tail. More often than not people make them more elongated (which I like as well), I just don't see the shorter ones as often. Well done!

Ya that thing is gorgeous! You my friend have some talent!! Im jealous.

Perfect. Nothing more to say.

Beautiful work Cedric, quite a move away with this one, a little different from your radical designs, you do surprise me in a good way.

Jamie.

Hi Guys,
Thanks all for all messages. I am going to make another scales,, there is a thing which does not go.

Always superb' :bow

What's wrong with this scales ?

Thanks Oregos,
The pivot, the scales and the tang are for the same levels.

That would be better for the line, if that exceeds a little.

I've bought and sold A LOT of razors over the years.... some very, very nice.
There is something about this razor that I love. It's lines are clean and graceful and it makes a statement. This is a razor that I would keep forever.
I've never said that about a razor before.

Hi Guys !
Thanks.

With new handles.

The balance in the pivot does look a lot better. I really like the pointed wedge end on the old ones though. Still, jawdropping.

It does look better not that it looked bad to begin with, great work again!

He guys do you know what...it'll be mine soon ! What a great Christmass present !

WOW!!! I'll take one.

It's a real pleasure to look back at this razor :)

I hope Charlie that you still use it regulary ;)

Indeed. Still, a beauty! :D

Very nice. What type of polishing did you do for the final surface polish? Does look nice.

I beg to differ on swaging the grob, I would have humped the hyperbolic paraboloid though.
Well, bit of a necropost and a bit of fun, but what does swaging the grob mean?

I asked him once. He said if he told me, he would have to kill me! :tameshigiri: :)
