SOLD
Here is a custom designed straight razor that is the only one of its kind in the world, I used Pink Ivory wood scales for the handles (this is without question the most expensive hardwood in the world, it is very dense and hard with a tight grain pattern. Fully sealed to protect against moisture). The handle is further enhanced with Paua Abalone shell from New Zealand which I inlaid into the handle. As for the blade: I used a NEW Historical Series Pierre Thiers (only 450 of these blades were ever introduced).  Currently, there are less then 100 of these new blades left in the world, when they are gone, that's it! This blade bears the Hallmark of Pierre Thiers and the year of forging~1884. The hammer impressions from the original hand-forging by Mr. Thiers are intentionally left evident along the blade's spine to add to the character and historical interest of these very special razors. The Full Hollowed "Singing" 5/8 Spike blades are fully mirror polished and gilded in 24k gold on the front surface with the special Pierre Thiers signature hallmark. File jimps on the lower edge of the shank provide a secure grip. Also included is a leather holster and certificate of authenticity.  This razor is fully factory sharpened and ready for use
