I like it too. It's like raku pottery. And for some reason has a "cowboy" feel to it. I have no idea why I think that.

I think that the collective Honemeisters should announce a new pricing schedule. Something like; "All razors honed to shave ready condition - $20.00 (Unless the razor is over 11/8, in which case the charge is $200.)"
I know you guys were aware of the hole in the blade. Here is what I did with it...

What'll y'all allow on that? :hmmm:
This was good. It made me laugh. I like the idea of sending it in pieces. Maybe one piece every two weeks... baaa ha ha ha ha. :roflmaoQuote:
I like the idea of sending it in pieces with some assembly required with a touch of honing. :w
Bill, you keep coming up with those surprises and you'll put every other razor-maker to shame.
Out of curiosity.. The pivot pin hole seems rather small, indicating the need for a more rigid rod stock than plain ol' brass. What will you be using?
Bill, this is a work of beauty.Quote:

My only remark is purely personal cosmetic perference: for me, I'd rather have a smooth spine, with a hollowing in the side of the spine, like they sometimes use to hollow out the sides of the spine of a katana.
But that is just taste of course, and detracts nothing from the quality, nor beauty of your work.
Nice mosaic Bill, that had to be a royal PITA to grind and polish with the blade. I've got a 3/16" mosaic pin that I'd thought of using as a third pin in some scales but ... IN THE BLADE?! You're a glutton for punishment, aren't you? :nj

Thanks... in order to use the mosaic's for a third pin, they have to be stepped to be functional. I have been using them for razors a while and for knives since 1992.Quote:
