Micro-Razor : Barber's Notch : Mokume gane Cobaltium

.
This was really a fun project and although it is smaller it actually wasn't easier to make. One tiny little mistake on the grinder and you can start all over again. You really have to concentrate and make sure all your grinding movements are spot on. Getting the geometry and proportions correct are also important.

The cutting edge is 1.5" and total length of the razor is 3.5". It weights in at 1.2oz. Steel is 01. Scales are Mokume Gane Cobaltium, silver nickel and SS washers.

I added a picture to comparison with a larger razor as it barely fits in the palm of my hand. And yes it passes the HHT with ease and does shave as sharp as his bigger brothers.

This project really made me chuckle everytime I held it in my hands.

Thanks for looking.

The comparison pic made me chuckle. Cute looking little razor and your fit and finish is impeccible as always Max.

I wonder if a razor that size would solve my east-west neck whisker problems.

One for the resurrection of the Project Coochie Razor thread? ;)
Very nicely executed.

Wow, very impressive. It reminds me of a "fixed" version of a shavette-sized blade. It would be the perfect companion to a Simpson Wee Scot!

Max, your going to have to post it on SOTD and tell us how it handles ;)
Without the size comparison, you'd never know how tiny it really is.
And as always, impeccable workmanship.

She handles perfect and given the extra super tiny small size, she was tailored to fit into your hands nicely. I'll probably use it again for the start of the new SOTD ;)

I just emailed you for one exactly like that! Just awesome!

Nice, very nice. Workmanship is superb, as always. Proportions are spot on.

Very nice indeed Max. You got baby bear to go with papa bear. I was thinking of making a few in the mama bear size, 2 to 2 1/4 inch edge range. So I am pleased to hear that you like the way baby bear handles. Again, very nice indeed!

Let's not forgot the Polar bear. The mother of all bears. Those are those huge 9/8 and 10/8 pluses. :rofl2:

I have the same problem with the hair on my neck. This razor would do the job very nicely.

Where can i get one?

It's when you measure out 1.5 inches that you truly appreciate how small the edge is. The whole thing is nothing short of incredible.
