French point, 1/4 grind, NOS with a decorated spine...
I know I paid more than I should have, but man, I think it was worth it. It honed up so easily it was ridiculous. I shaved straight off the Nani 12k without stropping and had one of the best shaves I've had in a while. After a little CrOx and CeOx, the Wapi is easily in my top three right now.
I'm in a pickle though... I hate the weight of the scales, but don't want to mess with history.
Seems nice!
Are you going to post pictures? :)
I knew there was a reason why no one was responding :aargh:

And here's the spine. It almost seems out of place on a Wapi. That's why I'm leaning towards some elegant scales... Decisions, decisions...

Glad you like the razor. Those are the original scales if that makes any difference to you.
Beautiful razor !
Really like it!
That is nice! Enjoy
I have several, but have never seen one with a decorated spine. I hate the original scales too, the ones that I don't use have the original scales. The one I use has wood scales. If I had a cord for my camera I could join the picture show. They are great shavers!
Now I want a wapi too.
I should get mine in tomorrow.
I love the idea of wooden scales. Where does one obtain them
Classic shaving usually has a nice selection of TI scales. Recently, I got some Dovo ebony scales from SRD for my C-Mon Blackie. They look awesome on the Blackie so I might throw a set on the Wapi too. Or maybe I'll try to find something new for the Wapi. I don't have any bone scaled razors, maybe I'll go with that.
You have to watch the size of the scales on a Wapi. They are fairly small razors and too big of scales can make them even more awkward than the originals. My first Wapi can from a store in Toronto that had way to big of scales that made the razor very unbalanced and not nice to use. I made a fresh set and it's all awesome now.
