Hunter with cherry
I tend to make my handles thick and chunky (like me). This time I deliberately made the scales thin. They are made of cherry that has been dyed with lye (dollar store oven cleaner) and coated with lacquer. The blade is a Hunter. The spacer is ivory from a piano key top.

That is a perfect size for the scales, the lines flow very well.
Probably one of the better restos I've seen in a while. I tend to favor minimalist styling and this razor has an elegant simplicity that I really enjoy.
Excellent job all around.
...is the blade a mirror finish or satin? cant really tell from the pics.

Thanks for the kind words from everybody.

Those scales look very nice. I like the ivory as a spacer. Nice work!

Very nice job! But you have to tell me how you dyed the scales with oven cleaner?
Not sure what you did but I like that color
