It is a awsome wood. The first set of scales I made with it, I just polished the wood.. No finish.
Its got a nice satin look all on its own.

Looks like old dogs can be taught new tricks.:bow

A few years ago African Blackwood was used for my son's brush handle and the Blackwood wasn't highly thought of. I'm glad that you've come to enjoy it's properties! :tu

It is nice stuff! I have a Pixelfixed brush of it. Feels great in the hand. Seems quite hard and durable as well.
Good-looking wood!

It arrived three days early. YAY!! Won't try a blade swap. Har! I find it quite interesting when you compare similar razors. The subtle little differences. Liking the heavier scales on bolstered razor. With the better feeling/balance I'm going for copper wedge in plain Jane model I think. ;)

Why do people drag 60 grit sandpaper perpendicularly across a razor's finely ground surface? Aarrgh! The scratches are light and will come out fairly easily or I'd be on the blower demanding a return. ;)

Time to stitch.....
