Cool! Looks great, I've been wanting to try a Japanese straight, let me know if you ever need a guinea pig.

That's a good looking tool. Welcome to SRP!

What did you use for the hollow grind?

**smythe** · 06-28-2009, 06:36 PM

My!... that's a nice one, looks like would be an excellent shaver too, makes me want to try one. You are a true craftsman.

Welcome to SRP. Build a better razor and the world will beat a path to your door. Beautiful work. If you start doing standard folding blades I would undoubtedly be a customer if the price wasn't prohibitive.

Thank you everyone.Yes im working on the traditional western style razors as well.Some will be higher end damascus (pattern welded) steel.

Can't wait to see them. Anything to show us yet? Have you got as far as scales & pinning?
