    Mike, that is definitely one of the most beautiful razors I have seen. You have exquisite taste in my opinion.

    I second that. The simplicity and cleanliness of the design are quite striking.

    Here is a photo of my Livi, one of the "New Grind" series produced for Straight Razor Designs, and one of several Christmas presents to myself:


    The scales are made of an exotic wood called Ambiona and are unfinished. Any woodworkers out there care to suggest a treatment?

    Got my first Livi a month ago. Just a blade, I wanted to make the scales myself. I had some particularly nice buckeye burl.

    Blade is 8/8 Bergam damasks, my own blade design. Scales are buckeye burl with epoxy resin. I will be turning a matching brush some day. To busy with orders for other folks right now.

    I can see another one in my future. I think tekada steel next, maybe shaped like a katana, a smile with a sway back and tanto style point. Make some snake skin scales for it, or traditional leather woven over wood like a katana handle may look interesting. But I have to refinish a few hundred more razors to earn that one.

    Cannonfodder: That last pic made me swear out loud in awe. That truly is a tremendous piece of work, on both your parts.

    Your skill precedes you with your awesome brushes. Beautiful idea, I like it. Make it a diamondback rattlesnake that you caught yourself, it will mean more. LOL
