I scrolled so slowly through those pictures..yet I couldn't wait to see what was coming next...
absolutely breathtaking work. thank you for sharing these beautiful ladies...

Unbelievable! I would be nervous handling them. Did you up your insurance when they came in?

Beautiful work.
The details are incredible.

Those are incredible, it really is hard to find words to adequately describe them.

Beautiful set!
lately I've become interested in scrimshaw ( the barber pole razor I just posted) and find it fascinating.
If anyone thinks it's a type of photo transfer or done with a laser it's not. It's a style of art that is done with thousands of dots. It's created the same way an image is made on a newspaper.
Here are a few exames where color scrim has been done on knife handles. These too look photo realistic. They should. The guy gets up to $7,000.00 per knife.
And as the artist says , the image has to be bold and grab your attention.

Wow. That's something else!

I did the scrimshaw on these razors and I wanted to respond to some of the comments. First, thanks everyone. All the work is done by hand with sharpened metal scribes. I make the incisions, then rub black oil paint into them. Though most of the work is stippled points some of the longer lines and hair are done with a tiny blade. These days I'm doing a lot of work on custom guitars and pool cues. And knives and other "sharp things". Here's a picture I took of the full set:

Magnificent! Thank you for explaining.

Hi Bob, welcome to the site.

I have to say that having these razors on hand really allows me to appreciate the detail that goes into them. I am really at a loss of word to describe then and to call you an artist is really falling short on praise.

Gorgeous

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! I don't need any more money removed from my wallet! Stunning work!

Mother Mary and Joseph WOW!

I am totally dumbstruck! Beautiful! I don't know if I would call Doris Day a sex symbol though. Also, no Marilyn Monroe?

Mike

I can't print the initial words
out of my mouth! Jaw-droppingly
