    Default my new elliot

    My search for another elliot is over.



    My first elliot and scale material (will be much darker by the time im done)

    After fixing up one of them, which I had to buy because he looked INSANE, I realised I had enough of the scale material to make two sets, so my search for another cool looking elliot began. I saw a couple of fairly plain looking ones go by, untill finally I spotted one on ebay. Yes, there was a bit of hone wear, but still a great looking razor. She's already cleaning up nicely, even though there are some strange scratches on the blade that were hidden at first.

    Who can resist the sexy lines of this concave grind?

    yah, he's cleaning up pretty nicely, still some pits around the top of the notch though.

    Its a good thing I like the smell of WD40!

    My two Elliots. One pointy and strange, one sleek and sexy.

    Coming along very nicely, even if I do say so myself!

    If you were closer, I would seriously consider sneaking into your place, and stealing the top one.
    If you ever get tired of it, let me know.

    They are both absolutely wicked (cool) looking blades. I'm having a hard time choosing a favorite!

    Great work so far, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

    The top one has really sexy lines. But the bottom one's got this menacing look to it very wicked! I like!

    looks like i'll have access to a bandsaw and proper drill presses next week to knock some scales together.

    watch this space!
