Outside the Box Razors

[mmayo]

Noticed that I needed more razors for a show, yes a show, this weekend. Most of my razors are brownish and attractive so these will add to the spectrum. Blue stabilized box elder, amboyna burl, fiddleback maple and satin wood (I think- a gift). The chatoyance in the maple and satin wood is other worldly.
We will see Saturday and Sunday.

Sorry about the picture as my studio is being using for displays at the venue.

All the best with the show.

- I haven't shaved since the mid '70s but I was going to have a shave, that Amboyna handled razor would tempt me ... <g>. Gorgeous razors.
