Yes, the case would be to house just two razors, and I'm building it to house two 6/8 blades. I'm not pretending to do it just with leather, and got today a nice piece of 3mm PVC plate to do the...

Hey Dudes,
Sorry for the long absence. Brazil is passing through another concave of the economy (recession) wave, we are not used to promote good civil wars and I'm a bit conservative about spending...

Great source. I bet some of the pen boxes can also be modified into very cool razor travel cases.

Good to know!

Let's do the following. Most pals are from USA, so PM me the shipping address and I'll send you all four blocks. You chop off what you need/want and pass around the remaining parts for someone else...

I leave the choice with the artist. Have no idea what can be made of. Ipe is often used as naval material for big boat hulls, mahogany and "cedrinho" for furniture and small objects.

Ok guys, how can we proceed?
What I got is two pieces of mahogany (reddish, lightweight), a piece of Ipe (Tabebuia sp. - the dirty one, very hard and dense to the point it sinks in water) and a...

Hi, people. Today the guy who cut xiloteque samples told me there are some new blocks if i want them. Anybody is interested?
I do not know what kind of wood these samples are yet, but probably there...

Nothing fancy, saturated solution of alum salt on distilled water.

Someday I'll reach perfection when I grow a perfect transparent single cristal the size of a omega stone.

My problem sometimes is to get cold water to shave. Damn lizard-killing savanna sun.

Great! A coarser grooving on the top if spine was a classy touch!

Nicely done! Beautiful! Laser etching can restore the inscriptions on the tang, I guess.

Lovely striped scales, Outback! I wish I had a large sheet of this celluloid to make scales for the 7 MK31s.

Talkin'bout Mikes anyone heard something about MikeT whereabouts? Is the dude ok?...

Lovely wood, btw.

Mike, seems to me your scales have tiny bug holes on it (I'm on my lousy phone). You plano fill them with something?
I "lathe" some brass little pins some time ago on the dremel and glued them on...

Besides shaving, no mess with razors today.
Just watching pork ribs to get crispy in the oven. Rabbit is in line. Beer and wine already chilled.

Happy new year y'all, gents.

It worked very well, indeed. It's not a amount of metal that would affect the balance, just 0.5~0.7 mm. I didn't notice any change.
I left the embedded surfaces of the insert rough to bond with the...

Finally! No more classes this year! Now I can spare some time to mess with razors again!
Made a second attempt repairing turtle scales. This time for a Swedish frameback by Erik Anton Berg. The...

Concerned I am, indeed. My toughts on Geezer... a pneumothorax will need some days to retreat. Pretty uncomfortable condition too.

Glad to know both outback Mike and Richard are doing well. Time to open some bottles to praise the mighty yeast for the health of both.
Have yet pictures to share on the repair of the chelonian...

Precisely! Nice little domed very thin washers! So thin that I found some razors with stacked ones, accidentally I suppose.

Sorry to not being here as often as I'd like. I'm applying final tests...

Blade looks great! Hone, strop & go! Respect the patina :rock:

Wow, my best thoughts on Richard! Any news about his surgery?
