'Very beautiful. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks a lot, I am honored by your words!

I try my best every time, I like elegance and clear lines myself the best, but sadly it is hard to hide flaws this way

What a beauty!

Very elegant, nice and unusual shape.
pins - super, how you make them? For me, this is an unrealistic problem.

Nothing special really. I use the smallest stainless washers from microfasteners, and 1/16" nickel-silver rod. I use a polished hammer and a small jewelers vice, with its small anvil part polished. I leave the pin ends fairly long, and try to make nice and even "mushrooms" on both ends, than polish it op on a buffer. It is much easier to do actually than write it down, you don't even need too much practice just some patience.

Another fine looking razor mate. Really neat, and the timber is really nice.

I really like the simple and elegant design of your razors. My favorite part of this particular one, other than the blade design, is the white fiber lining. How do you attach it?

Modern and classic blended beautifully, and the French point just sets it all off.
Clean hard lines with a soft feel,
your friend had a great idea and commissioned the right man for the job.

I used 20 minute clear epoxy, and than claped them together between two sheets of plywood. After it dried, I sanded away the excess vulcanic fiber, and ready it is.
