Razor In Red

[sapito318]

Here is another restore for a forum member. This is a no-name, presumed Sheffield steel which was apparently used in the medical field, per the original scales having a medical insignia on them.

Scales are red acrylic with a black and red spacer, brass pins and washers. For the wedge, I actually just used some vulcanized fiber, (aka: fish paper, liner material) and superglued a couple of differently colored pieces together. Let it set for a few days, then sanded it to shape. Worked very well.

Is dancing with me, cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, it's where I wanna be
I hardly know this beauty by my side!
I'll never forget, the way you shaved tonight
I'll never forget... the way, you, shaved, tonight.

I wonder if Chris de Burgh uses a straight?

Nice job! I like the look and makeup of the wedge - great idea!

I believe you mean that it's a true wedge. Even then, it's a step or two below that.

This was my first thought too. That is my wife and I's song. It is a pun because she is a red head.

My lady is blonde, but I like to change the color to match whatever she's wearing at the time. I have to say "lady in red" has a nicer ring to it than "lady in orange."

Love the wedge, nice touch!

Nice work. I, too, like the idea you had with the wedge.

Haha, ya your right, it is pretty much a wedge. Funny though, cuz it shaves and hones like a hollow, :biggrin
