    Default 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.

    That is a very nice piece. You should be proud of that one.

    My kitchen knives in white takes a razor edge so why not in a straight razor!
    Very pretty thing you made there!

    Its simple design makes it look vintage, seriously nice work man!
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    White steel, me likey.
    How hard is it, do you know?
    And how did you find it to perform on the hones?

    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?

    Love the way the steel just lights up so brightly.
    Very nice.
