I am sorta testing how to load pics on here so I hope this works...

This is a 8/8+ Wade & Butcher in a new color of acrylic I just got in called Volcano... Light polish on the steel, stacked Tri-metal washers and pins

Makes me drool. If you can be bothered we'd love to see your pics over here too.

Now that's what i'm talkin about!

(If you use the built-in image posting tool it always places a thumbnail version requiring a click to see the full size. If you want full size without the thumbnail you must host the image elsewhere and post the image link here manually. Someone correct me if that's wrong.)

Thanks guys,

I'll try it out Matt TY and see what happens. I was going to try the different sizes in the uploader too and see what that does too...

You can always upload to our gallery and link to the image there. I think the gallery is working at present...
One problem with the insert image link in the posting dialog is that the image will eventually be replaced with an advert, usually for something unsavoury, which leads to embarrassment down the road when someone browses old posts and asks why you put in an image for a product that will, er, 'make your straight larger'!

This one is a NY Thistle brand in Molten Metal acrylic, light polishing on the blade..
These are one of my personal favorite brands, I own a couple myself and they can hold an extremely fine edge....

Something about those Vintage NY brands are hard to beat the edges...

If it is ok, I will just keep adding to this one thread...

I really had a good time with these two...
I had 2 people send me the same razors, each guy had a totally different idea of what they wanted to have done... These are Japanese Solgen razors

One was a fancy re-scale with a Russet Swirl acrylic, and a Pearl White wedge... We changed it into a 3 pin design, which with this small of a razor took some doing

Razor #1

Now the other guy wanted a full custom conversion to a Kamisori style setup...
I had to grind off the tail, then grind the tang to fit the Smoke acrylic hilt
I fit them and used Acra-Glass bedding tinted to match to hold it all together...

Razor #2

Both razor were honed on my Nakayama Midori last night and I got to test shave them this morning... Gotta love it

Don't expect us to feel too sorry for you having to do those test shaves with all these lovely beauties!
