    Default custom made razor and stand

    OK, I know this isn't a str8 or even a DE, but it was fun to make. I just kind of made it on the fly, no patterns or real plan in mind. To tell the truth, I wasn't even sure how I was going to make the stand, but it turned out anyways. It was really fun and I like how it is almost all wood. Many of the razor "kits" have done 90% of the work for you. All that is left is to turn a little piece of dowel and put it all together. The razor and stand are made from the same piece of Bocote.

    Thanks all. It was fun to make and the people at the Golden Nib were great to work with. My first head was defective and they promptly shipped me a replacement at no charge. I'm getting quite a selection of razors and may have to start giving them away
