    Thanks Pearl, My mistake, it's a square point. It's up on ebay now. I didn't see
    any ladies straight razors there so I had to test the waters.

    Looks Great!

    That should be in the 'workshop' section!

    I never noticed this 'Ladies Corner' on the forum before (I usually truck right to the restoration/Workshop area). I'm happy to not only see women using straight razors today as well, but also that there seems to be a certain 'type' of razor that works for them (smaller blades), which I am guessing is due to the maneuverability of the blade over a longer distance....

    Anyway, I'm wondering if the ladies that are currently using straight razors feel that there should be some changes to the design (or traditional razor) design that would help the ergonomics of the shave? (i.e. a thumb rest on top of the tang/spine area; longer tail to accomodate a better hold; more of a curled or straight tail; etc...)

    With some of my up-coming restorations, some of these modifications could be made to some of the blades....

    Any feedback would be appreciated

    Just thinking......

    I am working on a Henckles Stadium ground down for women's preference right now. It's not going to be fancy like yours though. Just some linen micarta scales and a shortened narrow blade. I'm going to call it the Mini Stadium, it will be obviously more petite with the shorter scales and all. Your razor is very fine and fancy.

    Tiny Tim, the coochie razor I made, had an evil spike point, so I followed the advice of another member (forget who) & blunted the very tip of the spike. That's a good trick. It pretty much solves the safety issues.
