Well here is a razor that I might actually sell lol. I asked Jimbo to come up with some specs like he were really ordering something. He sent me a ROUGH sketch lol and I redesigned it for him, keeping his wants/needs. This is still very rough. The tang needs to be tapered and the whole blade sanded finer, then lots of filework added before heat treat. Anyway, here is the current blade (with an added grinding pic for fun!).
P.S. It's 440C Stainless.
That is SO damn nice,
I'll take a 7 day set =P
:bow:bow:bow:bow
Myyyyyyy preciousssssssssss....
James.
Very nice lines. I like the profile of the blade.
Keep us posted.

Man the custom blades around here just keep getting more and more amazing !
That is smokin' ..... and talk about a spIke .... that could take a lobe off in a half a stroke lol
It it was mine I'd name it "Quasimodo"
Great job
That looks fantastic, Alex! :rock:
Love that smile! Looks like it's going to be a good one. Can't wait to see what scales you put on it to match the datail of the blade!
whoa, I didn't know Jimbo had such a dark side!
Great execution of a fantastic design :eek:
James aka "The Axe Murderer".
This is going to be sweeeeeeeeeeet! and scaled by the master himself...
Can't wait to see this one finished!
Darn, now I want a belt sander real bad...lol
:rock:
That's looking really good!:tu
Thats an awesome looking razor:rock:
This looks like a winner! Jimbo has a good imagination.

Outstanding.:bow. Hmmm how much is a new grinder from Bader costing these days?:hmmm:
Wow, that thing looks angry!
Can't wait to see it all filed and scaled up!
Really nice. Very impressive work.
Very Very Very Nice!
:bow:bow:bow
Sat typing in a pool of drool... That is an amazing blade already. It will be the subject of huge amounts of envy when subjected to your usual scaling artistry, I have no doubt.
One one question. When's your order book opening?:w

Nice blade design.
That is one very sweet blade! Show me in line to buy one just like that one - seriously! I'll even take it without scales!
What's the length from the tip of the toe spike to the tip of the tang in a straight line? I can see a set of MOP/ebony scales with silver inlay that has a shape that'll compliment and exaggerate parts of the design.
Seriously, Jimbo should have a unique design but I want one very similar - just round off the heel spike for me or I'll need stitches in my ear. Maybe indent both sides of the tang/shaft to allow inlay/cover with MOP there on both sides... Jimps on the rear half of the big hump... that should keep Jimbo's unique. It's just too wickedly cool looking. Gotta have one!!!!!
Out of curiosity, I can't really see the width of the spine in the photo - are you going to hollow ground it or go as a wedge? Either way I want one! I just traced the outside lines of it to use to design a set of scales to fit. Quote me an amount and I'll send it just to reserve a place in line for the next one!
A seriously good design and expert craftsmanship Philadelph.
Wonderful shape!
Can't wait to see the progress!
That looks seriously cool.
I would love to shave with something like that.
I love the blade design.
James just posted a link to this yet again ... my god how he tortures me with this .... :boohoo: my dream shaver

Any updates?
It's so exquisite one can only imagine the scales to go with it.
Alex and James :beer:
