    Default 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.

    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.

    Has an aerodymanic feel to it, very sleek and excellently done.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    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.
