@BkbladzZz The razors vary in price. I sell my razors through Straight Razor Designs. The are listed on thier page under my name in their custom straight razor shop.

good work thank

@chopstix2002 The blade is thicker than the opening between the scales. The blade does not touch the wedge. The blade is tapered and hits the insides of the scales before the edge has a chance to poke through.

Thank you for the kind words about my work.

Your razors are absolutely amazing. Something about using something so raw looking in such a delicate way just makes it seem so visceral. Question on the scales...What keeps the blade from swinging down through the bottom of the scales. From what I surmise from the video it looks like the wedge you add to the end touches the end of the razor at some point. Do you need to keep the cutting edge of the razor from touching the wedge. I assume that would dull the blade.
