You forgot to mention the blade is "very sharp!"

i can put the pin hole just about where ever you would want it as i have to drill them myself (pin hole would have had to been like 1/4 inch to be lasered out

The barbers notch with a smile looks great.

When the time comes, how do we order? Do we just submit the image and payment?

I'm getting pretty excited about this.

this is just a skills test
the steel and laser blanking have not been all worked out yet
as for the SRD doings thats not totaled out yet ether
right now im not sure if they will handle the blanks or if don will be finishing out razors with the blanks adn i sell just blanks
as i said much to work out yet

Man.. those all look good to me.. i'd love to see the one on the bottom with a slight smile and a barbers notch (I like the shorter blade lenght).

ther are a few ladys that might knock you out if you tryed to take one of those

but here is the best part when i get this al together you can get the razor as long or short as you want

the one on the bottom is nice, i would try not to get into too many alterations as it will entail a great deal more work for you butch, but a 1/4 hollow grind or slightly stiffer grind of the bottom one with satin finish and a standard pivot hole would be a nice grab, i have too many wedges as it is plus they are a pain to get sharp

I really like #3 but I think the long tail (like the one in #1) and a slightly rounded point (like #6 but still with the notch) would be perfect. Can't wait to see the pricing and put my order in
