What Straight Razor Did You Use Today?

Wow, you made that?

 

Bruno at Snail Forge Razors will sell rough cut and ground, heat treated blade blanks. All you have to do is provide the elbow grease

The scales are Gabon Ebony, and let me tell you my friend, that stuff is hard. I can usually wang out a set of scales in a day. These took several. The brass wedge was easier to work than the ebony, not even kidding.

 

You are not wrong there Mike, that matching pair in Tortoiseshell look beautiful.

Wonderful feeling knot but developed "tangle hole" after the first use. I might try to shorten it up to see if it helps but I don't think it will.

 

Friends,
I'll be moving on the 20th and have begun packing. My SOTD posts will be a little lean for the next three weeks or so. But I'll be living vicariously through your posts, so feel free to entertain me

 

We'll try. Just make sure you find your way back, I enjoy your posts.

 

Where are you moving?

 

Just to the other side of town. Still a pain! In the military I had 14 address changes in 15 years and always said "when I get out, I'm DONE moving. 14 years and 5 moves later...the best laid plans...

Looking forward to it however, much bigger place. More potties
