The amboyna Dragon 15/16
Here is my latest work, which was made for a member here. There is a little story behind this razor, because Bob already had two of my razors, when he ordered a third one. We discussed the details, and I started to work on it, when I put up pics of my first dragon slayer model razor. He fell in love with that razor right away, so he said: Could we change the order for one like that one?
Well, I couldn't say no, because Bob is a good guy, and my heart is made out of butter (and because this is my favourite razor by far ), so I said sure.
I had total control over the scales, so I decided on amboyna burl with african blackwood lining, and a black horn wedge. The blade is O1 at 60HRC, the black parts are etched for contrast and rust protection.
Here are the pics, I hope you will like them!

sweeeet, want one sooo bad!
Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
