Hello! I've been interested in making straight razors for a while now, and so I have been practicing making them for the past couple months. Here are three that came out great.
The first has wrought iron cladding and a 1095 core with nickel shims. It is a 6/8 blade with a quarter hollow. The shank has fine jimping on the bottom and the spine is rounded. The scales are African Blackwood buffed to a high finish. The wedge is black linen micarta and the pin is peened copper.
Price: $300

The second is the same material and construction as the first

The final blade is A203E cladding with a 1095 core and nickel shim. The construction of the blade is the same as the others. The scales are an excellent cut of stabilized curly acacia with a black linen micarta wedge and a copper pin.
Price: $270

All of the razors have been honed to .5 micron and can cut standing hairs off my leg without touching my skin. Here's a cutting test of the blade on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZQISJAMjz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
The price includes free two day USPS priority shipping in the US, so there should be no problem getting it delivered before father's day if that is necessary. Let me know if you have any questions or comments about the razors! You can also contact me directly via my email YozakuraForge@gmail.com or by PM.
Thanks for looking!
