    Default Next razor in the pipe line

    I had this razor which had some bad rust near the toe. Being too lazy to clean up the rust I instead elected to cut off the toe and make anther coochie razor. I have given it a rounded toe and hand cut top and bottom jimps. When I have finished the hand sanding and polishing it's going to be scaled with it's original, but cut down, black compressed rubber scales.
    Anyway, here are the pictures.

    Don't know how long it was when it started but I like the "stubby" look you've got going. Post some pics when you get 'er all finished up.

    Well, it's finally finished. I've been procrastinating for a while and this one just sat on my desk for a few weeks. Today I cut the scales to size, drilled some new pivot pin holes, polished the scales and then put it all together. I hope you like it. The only thing I have to do now is hone it up and sell it.
