    Default 7/8 Shoulderless custom in black horn

    Hi all!

    This razor was an order from a friend of mine, and he is already using it since a few months when I am writing this. This is the reason why I have only one picture of it, he got it so fast I didn't have any time making more

    The stats: 7/8 shoulderless grind from O1 steel at 61-62HRC, hollow is a high shine satin, the rest is mirror polished. Scales are from black horn, wedge is bone, pins are SS washers with NiAg rod.

    I really like working with horn, it polishes up to a mirror gloss in no time, and if I wear my respirator I don't feel that terrible smell too Looks very nice too, and has that retro feel, nice stuff.

    Here is the only pic I have, please let me know how you like it!

    Very sleek, love the look of satin and shine, one of my favortites of yours to date.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    I don't blame your friend for grabbing it quickly, that is another beauty.
