6/8 white paper steel in blonde horn.

Here's one I finished up recently.
Pretty straight forward but I really like the way it came out.
6/8 with thumb notch in Japanese white steel. Scaled in blonde horn, wedge is dark horn lined with SS and stacked washers.
Turned out to be a nice light razor (total weight 52 grams) that shaves really nice.

Great looking razor!

The hardness was not tested on this one. I feel safe in saying it's between 60-62 but that's just my guess based on past razors and how it worked with the hones.
It's took a bit of work to get the bevel fully set but once done it went pretty smooth.

Do you ever use finger stones on them to get the Damascus pattern out?

I have once or twice but I honestly prefer the darker look.
