Nice!
I really like that faux frameback/shoulderless look with the barbers notch. It looks awesome!
That's an awesome looking razor and indeed a fantastic shaver. Congrats.
That is one tasty-looking blade.
That blade shows some real style-as uncompromising as a headsmans axe, for whiskers! Looks like it will be a great shaver.
Wow what a shave :)
I've been working on horn scales, got a quart of Neetsfoot oil :) and figured I may as well hone up a new one and get tonights shave started. After inspecting the edge it seemed pretty darn close as is. So I ran it across the 3k GS just to see were the scratch pattern was... Bingo it was right on target so I did a few passes and was able to pop hairs on the arm :) Ooo that was nice, I took it to the Japanese hones and quickly brought it up to shaving standards in just a few minutes, it was amazing :)
Anyway after 10 passes on the Cro2 and the usual post honing 50 laps on the strop I did my shave... I think the whiskers packed up and ran away before the blade got there, it was like a sqweegee :)
I may have to try for the other one that just popped up on Ebite...
Now that I know what a rattler is, I can say with confidence:
Man, that's a sweet looking rattler! :)
Glad it's a great shaver too. Enjoy!!
Great razor, thanks for sharing! :mace:
