He makes some awesome blades!
Some day I hope to have one. There is a small handfull of blade smiths that I really want one from each. I think that Ill start putting all of my change in a big jar and dedicate it to custom blades..

Prodigy, no offence, but none of the process of developing that razor has been shown here? At least I have not seen any! Keep in mind this is a workshop thread.
Move that to show and tell or, most appropriately, the auction forum. JMHO

This is a good point. Dont feel too bad Prodigy, Ive had to be reminded before and was glad of it. Its good to have someone keep us on track IMHO, it keeps me more productive.
It also helps me stay productive and creative to see other peoples work, the process and results..

Gotta pull some money in because all the bills are coming in at once so Im having to do what I didnt want to do .. sell off a bunch of blades and stuff. Took pictures and will get on the Bay tomorrow.
BUT I put some blades to the side that Ill take pics of tomorrow and post them up on here for anybody that is having a hard time finding something to work on and needs a project blade. Got about 10 blades to give away... Ill also send some work materials (sand paper and such) and wood for scales if they need any of that... Im out of pins and washers so theyll have to get that elsewhere. All I ask is that they post their progress up here so we can all see, enjoy, learn..
Yep thats it, kindof worn out. (I love this emoticon just never know when to use it!)

Super dad...huh
Wait till the baby comes.
And the bottles, the diapers.

Oh... Did I mention, wakeing up late for work, running up stairs to get the kid dressed for the sitters, and you open the door to find your kid has painted the crib, walls, and themselves from head to toe with
Pooooooooo!!!!!!! [emoji15]

Welcome to fatherhood Mike. !!!!

First you demand pictures, then you criticize, sheeeeesh. I have a lot of progress pics of both the blade and the scales. I'll post em up tomorrow.

Thanks, MikeT. At some point in a thread like this, one must look at the title and the original poster's intent.
This thread has been quite interesting and productive. We can go as far out left field as you fellows want to.
Fact remains, it is all about fixing butchered blades. Again, JMHO.

Post em up! Thats what we are here for. My criticism is that we have not seen a thing and sales talk comes in with nary a pic. Then, a finished pic!
Let's see how you developed the Bruno Blade. In your words, 'Sheeesh'

Come to think of it. Could one of Bruno's blades be 'butchered'? They are all relatively new..

Ahh Tom, it is refreshing being able to be the good cop, if only in this thread as opposed to real life.
As the OP I too am impressed by the length, breadth, and left field wallowing this thread entails at times. The learnin's and sharing of the gents on here has taught me a fair bit, and offered some reasons to try new materials, and partnerships on future ideas. Spend and hour in the shop though and wham, two more pages of thread to catch up on!
You are right though, you silver tongued devil, it is, and should mostly remain about the recovery of the butchered razors we feel like saving, or trying to save.
Thanks for keepin it on tact.
I'm worrried about being excommunicated when I finally get through my dog drawers though, hehe. Down to only a few clunkers left..And winter isn't even here yet..
