Thanked: 203Australian Army Razor
So i have a mate who's son is in the Australian Army and turns 21 this weekend. I had previously made a razor for my friend and he suggested one for his son would be on the mark. Being between workshops i went for a restore. Wanted something with a modern "tactical" look to the handle. Went the whole hog and restored a travel brush and travel strop to make a set and added some shave soap. Practical, transportable.
All done at the outdoor table with hand tools. Coping saw, files, sandpapers, micromesh, stones, etc.
Blade - Larkin 6/8".
Scales - Silver Twill G10.
Brush - Badger hair, whit acrylic and Silver Twill G10 butt cap.
Thiers Issard Travel Strop- restored and oiled.
Honing - 1K, 4K, 8K, 12K, CrOx then Horsehide strop. HHT with ease. Smooth shave.
