Welcome! :)
Looks very elegant and professional to me.
Cool! Looks great, I've been wanting to try a Japanese straight, let me know if you ever need a guinea pig.;)
That's a good looking tool. Welcome to SRP!
What did you use for the hollow grind?
My!... that's a nice one, looks like would be an excellent shaver too, makes me want to try one. You are a true craftsman.
Welcome to SRP. Build a better razor and the world will beat a path to your door. Beautiful work. If you start doing standard folding blades I would undoubtedly be a customer if the price wasn't prohibitive. :tu
Thank you everyone.Yes im working on the traditional western style razors as well.Some will be higher end damascus (pattern welded) steel.
Can't wait to see them. Anything to show us yet? Have you got as far as scales & pinning?
that looks like a whopper. What kind of iron?
Is the backside flat?
Great job Brother and welcome to the site!!!!:tu
Welcome, an elegant blade.
Welcome aboard Sir. Nice razor indeed!
Is it true what I hear...that you will be giving one of those beauties away to each of the first 15 members that welcome you aboard?:w
Welcome to SRP.
It does look a bit different from a japanese razor where the blade it slanted to the concave side.
I guess I just made it! Now waiting for my swag...Quote:

Nice work. The japanese straight razor all are they chisel grinded????
Welcome to the SRP! That blades looks really nice!:)
That looks so nice!!!! Im looking forwards to try one someday!!!
WOW !!!!!! Those are great are they going to be offered to the public anytime soon? If so I want one of each of the 3 .
Thank you.
Now my work is not totaly efficient. I gave some to test on french Straight razor forum and the result is that i have to re work in order to obtain a better angle between the back of the rasor and the edge (use thicker material). When i will have succeed to make razor that would have been tested with success by more or less a dozen of member of that french forum, and i will thought to sell my razor.
