。。現在日本剃刀に夢中。。
Finished this up last night. It is my take on the Frank Warner Bird wing I guess. Blade is made from Hitachi White steel and carries a 2" cutting edge. 6/8-13/16 wide and quarter hollow grind with a wicked french point. Vine style file work above and below for the jimps. Scales are made from blue stabilized maple burl and is wedge less with torx screws holding them together. Third pin catches the blade in the nook so that it doesn't go through the scales. Took a wicked edge and the point bit me a little last night in my test shave.

Another new pattern, hot off the presses:
One, two! One, two! and through and through...The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
My Vorpal Razors

Damn Joe!!!!

These are just incredible!
You are what you is, and that's all it is.
Boar brush, with matching boring razor...
One, two! One, two! and through and through...The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
My Vorpal Razors
Hmmm....expanding your field a little.
Nice and matchy. The shape of the brush looks very comfortable, long for a deep mug or bowl.

I did a few brushes a couple years back. Someone who just bought a razor of mine gave me the idea to make a matched set. This is the first prototype.

I tried to get off the straight razor train for a while, but this thread pulls me back every time! Just the pictures, I know I'll never own one of those bad boys!
All the world loves a lover. All the world loves…Mandom!

Wow!!! Your stuff looks awesome!
Your work is truly breathtaking. I hope to own one of these some day...
Today is a special day.
Here's one just finished up.
7/8's monkey tail with a slight Spanish point.
Horn scales, bone wedge with stacked washers
Alright I know mine don't really compare to the beautiful customs in this thread but here is one indie a light clean up on. It was pretty clean to begin with but it needed the age spots and patina buffed off. Now she's all nice and shiny.
6/8 #14 PIK(ERN) 3/4 hollow.
