Alex Jacques fully custom Damascus (pattern welded steel) straight razor, ~15/16, wedge/quarter hollow grind (I dont like knit-picking grinds, see photos below), thin carbon fiber 6k weave scales, G11 wedge. The Damascus was custom made by the well known knifemaker and damascus producer Delbert Ealy. It is an O1/L6 combination ideal for straight razors. The pivot pin is made of a barrel pivot with torx screws. The scales are thin, UV resistant carbon fiber and feel GREAT in hand.
A NOTE on the Photos below: Keep in mind that these photos are pre-honing (the edge in the photos looks thick/blemished doesnt it? lol). Along the edge of the razor you may notice a shiny strip where the steel is not etched though- this is not the honed bevel, but rather a section where I used a resist to keep the etch from bringing out the pattern in the steel. Some makers argue that this makes it easier to hone a good edge and prevents the etching process from pitting the edge of the razor. After honing, I found no real need for it. I probably will not do this on future razors, but on this particular piece, it does not affect the razors functionality or aesthetics in any way.

That Damascus steel has some of the prettiest and most elegant lines that I've ever seen. It looks like a black wood. I love the pins. They're not gaudy but they're still different.
