I really enjoy the shave I get from razors of this era.
Always silky smooth, close shaves. Something about the steel, IMO.

Super job on that wolf Mike! Great swept curve to it, and you really did keep a tight bevel.
Sweet job..

Mike that Wolf looks crazy! Awesome work.
Maybe my favorite old blade shape, what a great curve.
I agree with Joshua, what a name right?!
Tomorrow that Woof will be hunting down wild hare in Ohio.

I agree. I don’t know if it is the crucible steel, the thin perfect balance or if it’s all in my mind but they shave like none other.

I wonder if it had anything to do with the fuels used in the forge, and heat treating methods. It seems softer, in comparison to modern steels, but still retains its edge just the same. Love um.

Weekend yeah! so I was able to get back to this logo project.
Still wasn’t happy with the definition since, as when an image gets smaller it gets harder to keep sharply defined so I had to experiment with pixel size of image, as well as angle of V bit and depth of plunge required for various bits.
Within my design software I can run simulations, which do help a bit, but nothing beats real-time trials.

So I’m using up some busted part scales also made of horn to try to eliminate as many variables as I can before committing to the actual razor.

Ya know, I find it scarier working on other people’s stuff than my own. More care free with my leap in and try philosophy when it’s one of my own herd.
But for someone else, make an extra jig, shim up the back stops, support the wedge, and the space between the scales, try to eliminate every conceivable failure point before you start. etc.

Must admit though, it’s an awesome opportunity to really get back into some of the gadgets I haven’t really touched in some time.
Shop time= peaceful time.

My problem is then it becomes work.

Nice work, Mike!

That's the goofiest logo I have ever seen!

Is the problem with you or the logo?

Maybe the logo should loose the eyes.

That seems to be the big issue.
