Another nice razor. Thanks for clearing up the spine width question for the first razor.

Thank you. My bad.

Nice, that's another great looking razor and so different than the first one. Good to hear the geometry is correct, these are fantastic. He just started making these? Looks like he's been at it for years. Keep 'em coming!

He made first straight razor few months ago. Step by step, each new one is better than before one.

Lovely damascus pattern on the blade. The scales are beautiful. I like the scale motif very much, almost invokes a sense of bloody struggle with the blade and a reference to the Polish flag at the same time. Well done.

what is the material for the scales.

@Bruno, these are corian and dyed resin with the metal mesh

Always wondered if Corian would make good scale making material. Looks I have my answer now. Great looking scales they are.

Expensive material for kitchen counter tops among other things I am sure.

I've used Corian as wedge-making material before. The little Corian samples are good for that, tons of colors available.

I could be wrong here but it looks as if the scale material was casted by the maker using a layer of white corian then a layer of mesh and dyed and undyed resin poured over the mesh to make the scale blank. The scale material doesn't look like something you can just buy. Pure speculation on my part but it doesn't look like your standard machine made blank materials.
