Thread: A or B?

This little project is in its infancy. Just needs a little light polishing to bring back some shine and a new set of white streaked horn scales. My only dilemma is which shape to go with. So Im asking for your opinions. A which follows the line of the spine or B which is more curved.

A.




or...

B.

,,,,,,,,,, C

Actually I like B , the curved one.

My vote is A. Symmetry. Although the hinge point looks weak.
My two cents, anyway.

Pivot from B on the rest of A with a reduced wedge angle

I would round off the points. If you drop it the sharp point will probably cause a break or crack in the scales.

Also, I am not sure if the sharp point would interfere with stropping.

+1 to this idea

Something more like this?

Turn the razor 180 degrees so that it is in the stropping position, then make sure that the monkey tail is covered by the scales - if not you might want to consider a slight redesign. I find it really important to follow that rule otherwise stropping is difficult.

I've completed it and the scales are not in the way nor do they create any issues while stropping it. You can see it in the custom/resto section.
