Ok, seriously this time, last picture. This one really sums everything up.
Design to fruition. From my head, through my heart and hands, to the steel and wood.
This was my original design and the drawing I posted almost exactly 3 months ago to the day. Thanks for the help and encouragement, support and advice.

Thank you Ken and Charlie. You two are my inspiration. I love some of the stuff you guys have been putting out My wife hates you, because I see something little in a blade of Charlie's I like, or something in the scales or shapes of Ken's and I'm off designing and drawing again.
This will not be my last razor for sure. Someone should have told me this was going to be so addicting.

Congratulations and well done Brian. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. You can now proudly show off your custom razor to the family at Christmas.
I'm eager to hear about your first shave with your 'first-born'.

Some ovens have a "proof" setting which will get you about 90-110F.
Another trick is to use an ice chest and some empty water
bottles. Fill the empty bottles with warm to hot tap water
and mostly fill the ice chest. Then add your yeast bread
or scales with CA or other slow to catalyze/ cure finish and
check the results in the morrow.
An ice chest in the winter can keep water from freezing
should you loose power. If you travel much in the winter
and get stuck in a snow bank for a day or two drinking
water in contrast to snow can save a lot of calories.
Food temperature storage still needs to be correct but
drinking water is way better when not frozen.
If you use an oven it will have to be cleaned.

I had thought about using the oven but determined it definitely was not worth the wife headaches. Also, I wasn't sure how a flammable, off gassing finish would work in a gas stove with the exposed flames and everything.

Excellent work bro! I really like the washers. I'm not sure I understand how you did them. Fat washers that were ground down with a dremel?
