OK this is my first razor i'll finish the grind today after i sell a knife in a few hours ,this is HHH damascus steel feather pattern i just saw razor in it i was going to start a pocket knife but just saw razor in this piece. the wood is bacote ,and as soon as i get some washers its going to geather What do you think ? right now it's a 8/8 but when i'm done with the grind i'm sure its gonna be thinner I'm using a 6" wheel for the hollow grind. . i'll finish the handle after i make sure the grind is right i left the handle fat until i know what size the razor will be i do plan on it being alot skinnier . its alot longer than the pic shows the handle is 5.6in long

I love the damascus. But, somehow, the wood just doesn't go with it. It may be the dark wood with the dark metal makes an overall dark piece. It may the difference between the steel pattern and the wood grain. I don't know. I love the blade.
 
I really love that blade. Can't decide on the handle. Part of me really likes it, but another part would like to see something different. I'm just not sure what else would work.

I would really love to have a nice straight razor. It really is a thing of beauty.
 
finished grinding still need to sharpen also thinned out the handle as soon as the washers get here i'll pin it also need to gloss up the handle some just wanted to show a update

Iron, thanks for the hard work . Sometimes the peice just screams go dark. Ilove thats the way it should look.
 
I think it's beautiful. I like dark pieces. I'd want one if I could use 'em. Either way, I do think the handles need a little more polish. Needs just a little shine to it, because it almost looks like the wood isn't finished. The blade itself is beautiful, though. Perfect.
