    Default 8/8 Palmera & 6/8 Le Grelot

    Finished them up last night. There was no restoration done with the blades, just scales and honed up.

    - First up 8/8 Palmera: honey ox horn scales, a bone wedge and brass pins and brass domed washer. What an excellent shaving razor, a very finely ground, full hollow grind, its sings when you shave with it. I have never had the luxury to have my hands on one of these before. Very nice razor!

    -Second up 6/8 Le Grelot: black horn scales, a bone wedge and brass pins and brass domed washers. As you can see with the original scales the heal of the blade was sticking out. An accident waiting to happen. That now has been fixed.

    Nice job. I really like the honey horn the more I see of it. Black horn is always a good addition to any blade. Thanks for sharing.
