    Default One for me,,,, a Wadsworth

    I wanted something different from all the Black and Honey I've been doing lately so I made some red Acrylic, sculpted some grooves in it that mimic other razors I have . A white ivory wedge completes the package. It's not dust on the piece but a bit of metal flake. In person it looks like a Candy Apple. Blade cleaned up nicely. It's a terrific shaver!

    I borrowed the idea from a couple of other razors I have.

    Did you cast the acrylic with the groves or did you carve them in by hand? No wonder you are keeping it for yourself. A beautiful razor!

    It was one flat slab that I cut up into the scale shape and then carved the grooves into them by hand.

    Really a beauty. I really dig the translucent red.

    Do you wear a respirator when you grind the acrylic?

    Yes, when I remember to put one on. It always is a good idea when grinding this stuff or most anything.
