    Very nice work! Seriously, you need to look into making razors for some cash on the side. You have the skill set to get it going.

    I would think about continuing to make razors if I were you. Buy your wife a new chopping board then continue to use the old one for wedges make the green wedge you signature trait.

    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.
    Andy

    Very cool that it did shave well, hopefully it will hold a good edge for a long time.
