    Default Quasimodo checks into Heartbreak Hotel

    This razor is mine. It is a practice razor for one that I'm grinding for TB in Arkansas. It is a 10/8 hunch back with a primitive finish to the steel and buffalo horn scales. I was supposed to be a full hollow straight edge but after 3 bad grinding errors and three pretty decent saves, it turned into a smaller 1/8 grind smiler. I was still pretty happy becuse I was going to get still a pretty nice razor, even if not what i had intended. So after making the scales and just about done with setting the bevel on a 220 stone I noticed a hairline crack right in the middle of the edge. At this point I might say that a younger man with better eyes would have noticed this eariler.....So.............

    Translation: Hunchback razor thrown onto the scrap pile.



    As usual, thanks for giving me a shoulder to cry on
