    I really like the combo of the razor material and the wood scales. I made a Brush handle from the same material, what a nice wood!

    WOW !!...The blending of the Afzelia Burl and the San Mai is terrific.
    They seem to merge together.
    Did you dye the wood ? I've only seen Afzelia Burl as a 'yellowish' colour.

    That's a gorgeous razor. Love the patterning of the Damascus and the scales. Nice work.
