I've been thinking that my brother might enjoy using a straight. So for the upcoming christmas I've put together a set for him. First thought was to make some matching scales for another blade, but time was flying and I didn't manage. The razor is an SSA Eskilstuna, full hollow. Scales and wedge in ebony and the lining is aluminium. (posted before in http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...ssa-ebony.html) .

The brush is of ash wood, oiled and laquered as extra water protection. 24 mm badger from the Golden Nib.

The strop is double-sided with main side of pure leather. The back side is balsa wood with Dovo black paste. Also ash wood, and treated with boiled linseed oil.

I hope this will convert him to the good side.

Happy holidays, (admittedly a bit early)
