Very nice! What kind of G10 is that? I bought some black G10 and it looked nothing like that after shaping and polishing it. And that is much more how I wanted it to look. Smooth, dark, and uniform.

Standard G10 it's just the level of finish is different.

That's a beauty. I too like the finish on those G-10 scales.

Fine looking razor, I've never shaved with or honed tungsten.

Scott, the shave is amazingly smooth in my opinion.
But Mike (outback) is the one to ask about honing. I sent mine to him to try it out, he noticed micro-chips and honed them out........twice at leastScottGoodman and celticcrusader like this.Look sharp and smell nice for the ladies.~~~Benz

Scott, it's an extremely smooth shaver and surprisingly nimble for such a large razor, one layer of tape finished on my Suehiro Gokumyo 20K.

I'd like to ask, did you find micro-chips in your razor?
I'm in no way saying that there was/is a lack of quality in the Riga's. Just wonderingcelticcrusader likes this.Look sharp and smell nice for the ladies.~~~Benz
