My "medival one" as the wife calls it...Jerry Stark razors
This Sheffield Cutlery obviously does not look as it did when it exited the factory.
What I like about it, is the creative way of salvaging a severely dinged blade.

Do non-traditional scale materials count? Like swordfish bill, perhaps?

Come on guys....you cant tell me that there are only this many none traditional razors out there
Alex Jacques makes some incredible non-traditional razors. This one is tame by his current standards,
He recently made one that was part octopus that was amazing. He also made a pistol that was incredible. The little horns on my razor are minor mods compared to what AJ is doing these days.

The first one was made so that with little effort, it could be turned into a Kamisori style razor.
You can see the fold marks in the Tamahagane steel still, here they are:

Gorgeous!!! Either one of those i would so love to own!! Wow!!
They are incredible razors to shave with, I have the story of the master who made the razor in the first pic below - he was famous for a short sword called the, "Devil's Kitchen Knife" in 1640. Also have two letters certifying how they were made from Bruno at Snail Forge with the ancient Tamahagane steel....
Here are the pics of the original sections, two were used in the making, here is the one that was used to make the red one:

My Jacob Ray custom. I asked for this and he delivered. In hindsight, I would have preferred a little wider blade and a little hollower grind, but he gave me exactly what I asked for at a very reasonable price to boot.
