Custom Straight Razor by the Muskrat Man
I haven't been able to pursue my razor restoration interests as much as I'd like due to my knife buisness, but I squeezed in the time today to make a full custom razor from scratch. All my own design, made up as I went. L6 carbon steel blade with a brushed satin finish, desert ironwood scales, and nickel silver pins on brass washers. Now the one thing about this that may seem odd to you all is the blade is only 3/32" thick in the spine, it is flatground to a zero edge and hand honed and stropped to an edge that is as good as any razor I've seen. Enough with the chatter, here's some pics
Now, I know next to squat about razors. All I know is most are thick spined, hollow ground, sheffield was a capital for them and they are used to shave. I don't have the experience for the deisgn and small minute details that may make all the difference in a blade and/or handle shape. So I'm looking for comments, questions, constructive critisizm, whatever you feel like telling or asking me about this razor.
Best Regards
Kaleb
