Nice work brother!

I have 99% vintage straights none have wood scales so I use horn or bone scales when I do make new scales.

I watched a video on making one of these & I think I may build one. Harbor Freight has the magnets you need. I think the Vid. was on Pintrest "Sp"

I want one of those straight's! Just like that one!!

Go to the Ballistol site & they have a store locator or you can order direct at ballistol.com

Try some Ballistol instead of WD-40 & use it on your strops also!

I bet the Griffon is a better blade than the Dovo:hmmm:

What brand is the strop? Is it Shell horse hide?

That is called a cold shut in Forging Speak. Just leave it as is. I have a Robeson with one myself. It's a great razor! You I Barber is cool!

Like your Anchor BeJay!

I have some of that light diffuser material & a bunch of cardboard boxes around. Project for this afternoon! THANX!!

I have a Joseph Allen & Sons that I need to make new scales for. Trying to decide between nice wood or a micarta or even a good horn if I can find somr nice maerial.
