Can you post a pic of that? I am looking for some storage solutions for the straights as my collection seems to be growing exponentially

Congrats to TimS for winning the 'Toxic Green' scaled razor in the Sue Moore auction.
Lucky man! It's a beauty. I almost bid on it myself

So it looks like you'll have some room now, . . . .
Very excited to be the recipient of the razor that started this thread. Thanks for the incredible donation Victor!

Your on to my ulterior motives.
I got to shave with this razor today. What a treat. Perfect edge and great ergonomics in-hand--what a great experience! Thanks for sharing this razor Victor!
Your on to my ulterior motives.
So does this mean a 6/8th's is in the wings?

My first reaction was "Oh boy, work out all my wheel sizes again, just when I'm starting to feel confident doing 7/8." Now I'm thinking that maybe a 6/8 should be next. I think I will need a wheel smaller than 2" to do the full hollow. That 1/8" really changes things. See Frank, You got me thinking .................................

OK, I'm jazzed to try a 6/8. I'm going to fire up the forge tomorrow and hammer out a couple 6/8 blanks. Dafonz is planning on coming over to shoot video and try his hand at the forge and anvil. Great weather for forge work. Yahoo!
A Gold Dollar is around a 6/9 and my 2" wheel fits the hollow, so you should be able to make one pretty handily with what you have.

I'm going for that bellied extra hollow that we talked about. I have a 1-1/4" wheel that I'm going to try.
That's going to be a lot of fun...lol.

Brian Brown told me 'You have to be willing to scrap some steel to learn'
It's the truth! I tinfoiled my first razor attempt right in the middle of the blade going for an ultra hollow...lol. Gorgeous hamon on that one too! I nearly cried!

Fonz slept in, so no video. I did forge two 6/8 blanks this morning though.
6/8 seems so tiny now. The funny thing is that they were actually more work! Since my stock is 1/4" X 1", I forged it down to ~ 3/16" X 3/4" before forging the blanks

Looks great Victor, keep those pictures coming.
Shoulder-less with a thumb-notch perhaps?
