Turned out well and a great shape in the hand, I ended up trimming the very tip off so it would stand up when loaded, in hind sight I should have made a reposed stand..
Good luck, and I too see some matching scales in that horn!!!

Cool Mike got a pic of it?

Looks nice Mike, mine will have the tip included, it just contours my hand nicely, guess i will need to make a stand for it as well!

Have the other half rack still so I may do the same Martin
I see a stand a must or it'll always fall down head first when lathered. Unless you skuttle lather every time that is..
Three years ago I made those brushes,, gawd where does the time go?
And those were all the razors in my collection at that point as well,, lol..
Can't say that anymore either,,,

Those look great Mike.
Might have to keep that in mind.
I see horns for sale all the time at the flea markets.

That razor second from the left, looks awful familiar to me.

Indeed it is the very same Toledo steel Mike. Good eye mate,

That's what I thought.. Cool..!!

Its a Bengal now. [emoji6]

Oh yeah! The o-ring debacle! It was SO easy to disgust old Pixel!

That's a cool looking horn, I like the area of transition from dark to light. I can see how nice brushes can be made from it but how do you flatten it for scales? I run into these from time to time and always think of scales but I pass them up because I don't know how to flatten them.
