request: pictures of shorties

what it says in the title.
I want to look at some well done cut down shorties.
in my quest for a variety of different razors to try out, I picked up a razor today with a broken tip. I'll grind a new tip on it, probably make it about half length. I'm thinking it'll be useful for xtg passes at the upper lip, where i seem to have trouble working around the nostrils. i suspect a grind that gets the spine out of the way will work well there. not too spikey, but not too round.

this razor is about 5/8 or 6/8 , faux ivory broken on one side at the pivot- so I'll shorten that too while I'm at it.

I'd like to some shortie examples as well

I can't find the thread where I go through a point re-contour step by step, will post if I do

This was a Kropp that I dropped while I was restoring, I chipped a large piece by the stabilizer, so I decide to grind out the stabilizer took a little off the toe to give it a square point, and gave it a Kamisori look with a wooden handle it turned out much better than I thought it would.

Not mine but it's a real nice one. http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...va-shorty.html

Its not exactly a "shorty" it was a fairly good sized razor to start with, and only lost a little off the end. It looked way way better in person too. I kind of regret selling it. Attachment 131856Attachment 131857

Here an early Geneva Cutlery shorty, a fantastic shaver that i used very often.

One from a local Hardware I wanted to save.

I hade some decent bone scales that were cracked at one of the pins,

resized them a bit to fit this one better.

Dang! I have 2 projects for them, but not completed! Keep the thread alive till I do!

I found it necessary to shorten this Otto Deutsch HANS. Great shaver. Glad I did it.

That's really cool. How does it handle?

It's a great little shaver Carl, the razor was used on several occasions then someone twisted my arm and I sold the razor, but very comfortable to use, and a piece of cake to hone and strop, in fact probably the easiest razor you will ever strop.

Here's one I did a couple of years ago.
I don't have any before pictures.

I didn't make this razor.. bought from a member on another forum.. Sadly, it's a dreaded GD that was resized and shaves like absolute crap...

This was one of my early restorations. The one where I learnt the lesson about the danger of Dremels.
