    Sorry for the delay guys,, been away.
    Thanks for the kind words.
    I do respect the traditions of keeping original razors dressed as they were. I have certainly done enough of them. But I also enjoy as some have put it, push the envelope. Maybe it's the nature of my regular work, but I love designing pieces that may be a bit out of the ordinary at times. In a larger collection have a few that are unique doesn't hurt a thing. Besides, they're just scales. Nothing permanent.
    If I have a razor on my bench that is all original I generally will keep it that way. But if I have something that I've customized then I'll tend to build some unique scales for it. It's just a way to have some fun , be a bit artistic, and see just what I can come up with. It just adds another element to the process.
    At times I think for a custom piece using the same old - same old, just becomes another 'belly button" set of scales. Everyone has one and it becomes , well,, just old. Band sawing out a slab of something , sanding the edges and calling it done somehow just falls short for some pieces.
    Anyway,, here a few more I did just for fun. The Bamboo is actual bamboo I carved to look like the plant as well as sculpt the spine to look like a piece of bamboo. I made all the acrylics and the "Damascus" isn't damascus,, I did it with acid. Then there is a razor in a razor shaped set of scales and the 57 with the matching shifter brush,,, well what can I say?
