6/8 Frederick Reynolds Concave w/ Buddel Scales
The blade is a FR I got on Ebite with tortoise scales that were beyond repair. I polished it up to a satin finish (by choice, not laziness). The scales are a Walnut/Kiaat fusion, similar to Buddel's experiments, but without a glue line. The Spacer is cocobolo and the finish is linseed oil. Somone on here has dibs, but if they pass I'll be selling this one.

I stop at 600 grit and leave some scratches from the 400 grit flapwheel. I then finish it on the buffer with grey and green rouges. The scratches left by the 400 grit flapwheel are parallel to the blade, which I find looks nice.

Some of you guys need to quit with this level of woodwork! It's starting to piss me off! Great job!
PS I have one of these F Reynolds Concave Grinds and they're great shavers.
