Safety Razors - Double Edge

[mmayo]

We sell mostly Mach 3 razors, but regularly get requests for razors with inexpensive double edge blades. The guys who shave their heads especially like the economical blades.

Red amboyna
Black box burl

Beautiful work

Question on the red amboyna. Do you find that it stays stable over time? I love working with Red Mallee because the end result is very striking but have had instances where blanks have cracked or moved over time. Fortunately that has just been in my personal collection but I know a couple other turners who've had it happen to them.

I purchase the amboyna directly from Indonesia. It is superbly stable bit in color and dimensions.
