    Interesting challenge Benz.
    It may take him until Christmas to choose the piece and get it assembled. He is rather thorough when it comes to these project.

    I could likely do 12 after these 2, I think, but not all different colors. Different shades? Yeah!

    I love this sort of razor. Modern, thin grinds. Shave awesome!

    Regular guy Me!

    I also have some I think are above me. At least they used to be, back in the day.

    Imagine on the twelfth shave day of Christmas....a 12 pass shave. One pass for each razor.

    Now I have that stupid song going through my head.
    On first day of Christmas I shaved for the old widows and divorcees, with a Boker Silver Steel.
    On the second day of Christmas I shaved for my old widows and divorcees, with a Geo. Wostenholm and a Boker Silver Steel.
    OUT! Out of my head you damn song. I'm going to bed Tom. Look sharp and smell nice for the ladies. Good Night.

    Little time on this one this morning before I had to go out and do more yard work. Snow should be flying any day now.

    Re-purposed some scales and polished them up. Polished the blade and put them in the scales.

    Too shinny! Sent a PM to REZ and found a way for me to darken the blade using what I had in the kitchen.
    Before...
