6/8 french point, bolivian rosewood

This one was made for a Hungarian friend, with his specifications. I hope he will like the outcome, I really like the shape of these razors. I will put up some pics in the following days of another bigger razor similar to this one.

O1 steel 61 HRC, 6/8" in size, bolivian rosewood scales lined with white vulcanic fiber, black horn wedge, pins are double SS with silver nickel.

+1 on that. Really nice size and blade design.

Truly a masterpiece. Please have your Hungarian friend let us know how it shaves! The French tip design looks like it would work well for folks that are shaving around a mustache or goatee for fine work.

As a fellow Hungarian, Nice work...

Has an aerodymanic feel to it, very sleek and excellently done.

Wow, the razor-porn simply never stops around here.

Great job!

Cheers.

J, every time I see your name on a thread - I look. Your designs are so clean, so well executed. The only blades I can compare them to are Robert Williams simpler designs. I think its harder to make the clean & simple design look impressive, and each of your blades you've shared, demonstrates skill beyond a hobbyist.
'Very beautiful. Thanks again for sharing.

Another beauty. A modern classic.

Gorgeous blade

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. :tu

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.
