Not Really a Restoration, But...

Just finished up my Bruno Blade (Snail Forge Razors). Initially, I'd put a pair of acrylic scales on it, and then felt like a schlep for not doing the blade justice. Here it is in its new Gabon Ebony scales with a nice brass wedge. For those not familiar, you can purchase raw, unfinished, heat treated blanks from Bruno and finish them yourself. As close as I'll ever get to making my own razor without a forge.

 

Not bad man.

 

Nice. How does it shave? I don't have the time or patience for str8s, but I wish I did.

 

Wow very nice razor sir.

 

It's actually a really nice shaver. It's big (REAL big, ~10/8's), so it's a handful, but a very sweet shaver.

 

Holy cow! Very nice Mike.

10/8 though?
Man, I thought my 6/8 was a bit on the bigger side.

I had no idea anyone offered heat treated blade blanks.
I'm going to look them up.

 

I like that set much better Mike, simple elegant lines, for a razor that has more then enough style

 

Beautiful razor! The line of the scales match quite well with the blade. Nice job!

 

How do you get a hold of this Bruno?or are his razors only sold o. Strait razor designs?

 

Very nice.
