Mach III Razor

I got to spend my Monday working in the shop on a few small projects. I turned a few pens, a wine bottle stop for a friend out of olive wood, and this cherry burl Mach III razor for me. I love it. Shaves like any other Mach III does, but just looks really cool.

Photo quality suffers a bit, but you can see the basic shape and fitness of the razor.

Had such a great response to the above cherry burl razor, that I decided to make another one on Tuesday night after work. Finished it just before bed time. I had some Bolivian rosewood in stock and just loved the contrasting grain patterns of it. I took it over to the table saw and cut some blanks at a 15 degree angle so that – when turned – would show off the colors. Deep chocolate with blonde streaks.
