Thread: Crucible steel file

Well I've just finished my new razor, apart from honing. I more or less set the bevel before I did my final polishing to make sure the bevel width was nice and straight and it felt great on the hone, the steel took some honing so I know the blade is plenty hard but it is honeable. My next razor I think I will up the temp ever so slightly in the oven to soften it a little more. I wanted to use horn for the scales but I was out so black acrylic will have to do for now. Il rescale when my horn arrives. I finished it in polished stacked brass washers and pins. I'm really pleased with the results, for a long time I've been admiring people's work on here making there own blades and to finally take the plunge and try it for myself is great. Here's a few pics:

As you can tell I'm a huge fan of old Sheffield wedges and modelled this razor on the same sort of blade and scales style. I like it and I can't wait to shave with it.
