Zebrawood Mach 3 Razor Set

[mmayo]

In a first for me, I managed to sell out of razor sets. I had six at the start of December. Each day another one heads out of the shop. Thanks to CSUSA for their great kits and dependable shipping even during the holiday season. I select UPS whenever possible as the post office has been slipping lately.

Bubinga cut diagonally is next.

Very pretty.... what is your finish to keep it water proof??
I have a kit hanging on the wall in the shop for the last 4-5 years ... really need to give it a turn.
