Straight Razor Custom MOP Mosaic 9/8+

[rangerdvs]

Good Evening,

Here is a razor that I have been working on and just finished up last evening. The design is one that has been a mental work in progress for some time. The scales are individual fitted diamond MOP sections with Pre ban elephant ivory liners. I was not sure how it would all turn out. However, despite some of the difficulties of this material, it is well worth the effort in my opinion. I chose not to overlay the MOP with any epoxy so as to preserve the natural look and feel. Of course I did sand and polish to a high sheen. The blade is o1 with a worked spine and lower jimps
The asymmetrical blade shape was in part inspired by some of the very old straights. I was shooting for "elegant" on this one, lol. Shaved with it last night and it was wonderful.

Thanks for Looking!

Best Regards, Kenny
