Thread: Only for hardcore Bocote lovers ~ 8 different razor sets ~ 1 wedding

These razors are incredible. I am a newbie, new-old stock, I guess you'd say: used a straight razor for a time several years ago. I didn't know what I was doing. Now I'm 48 and returning after taking time to try to learn a lot.

Anyway, these are some of the most beautiful razors I have ever see. Remarkable creftsmanship.

How would I go about getting one similar to these?

I've always loved Bocote and Max reminds me why. Stellar work.

Groomsmens razors.... a nice momento, and the razors, like the idea, are excellent love those scales. Maybe we will have 8 new members for SRP. Keep up the exemplary work. Your skill is second to none.

I hope i get good enough one day to restore a razor as good as you did those.

Those are awesome Max! Great work!

Thats a great set of gifts for the groomsmen as well, what a great idea!

Indeed it was and I remember that project. It was lots of fun. Bocote is such a beautiful wood imo.

Beautiful work. Great choice with the tung oil as well. I was toying around with making a set of wood scales and finishign with tung. I refinished a dresser with it years back and it really accentuates the grain nicely. I really like the way it looks on these scales as well. Superb !

I love how each one has it's own unique shape of scales, but are simular in the mean.
Stunning work Max!!

Every one of those is a gorgeous as the next. Wish they were mine.

I was fortunate enough to receive one of these blades, and speechless is perhaps the best description of our reaction to them. Several of us shaved with straight blades already, but having such a beautifully restored blade sitting on my shelf will always conjure up memories of that marvelous wedding weekend. :-) Many thanks to you, Max, for your wonderful work. I cannot sing enough praise for your craftsmanship.
