I've already left a comment over on the UK forum TSR so I'll leave another, great work and great looking razor, look forward to seeing what kind of edge it takes and shaves.

Wow.
Can't believe all the great feedback. Thank you all.
Got her honed up last night and shaved this morning.
Hardness seems to be around 60HRC which I was aiming for. Took some time to create the bevel but got there eventually and it's super sharp.
The shave went very well, perfect actually and I am amazed how well this has turned out. Balance, comfort etc all very good.
Seems to have held the edge perfectly well, although I will use it several times just to make sure before I try and sell it.
Thanks again.

Very cool that it did shave well, hopefully it will hold a good edge for a long time.
Seriously congrats on such a successful first attempt! I'd seriously consider that as a business!
Very attractive. Nice work.

That is both awesome and heartbreaking! Though a man's got to do what a mans got to do... I hope you find a job before you do the unthinkable lol :).
Nice job! Very nice.
How long did it take you to make it btw?
Very impressed with your work/creation. We all hope you get the j-o-b you are looking for, but I for one hope that you keep creating razors.
Did you take pictures of the process? If you have a Blog you can send us to I'm sure many of us would like to learn more about what sounds like an exercise in creative techniques.
Don't forget to include the cost of replacing that cutting board in the selling price - this may be your "thing", wedges made out of special (and some times unusual) materials.....
Good luck on the Job search and sale, should you decide to part with it...(maybe sell your second razor...)
