    Default Latest Rescale

    So I posted an earlier fantastic shaver, the lonely Gold Dollar razor. This razor actually did not require any dremeling to get it shave ready. The original scales are beyond crappy, so I gave her new shoes, I think they turned out ok.

    It's box elder with a red acrylic wedge. The wedge color only shows if you shine a bright light through it.

    Thanks, I tried to center the streak as much as I could. They were 2 really small blanks.
