Nice job. I just recently did my first compound grind on a straight razor. It was educational. lol. Did you taper the tail of the blade much? I haven’t gotten to the handle yet on mine.
The tail on this razor tapers down to 2mm, so half of the thickness of the spine of the blade itself. Don't forget the handle has like a small wedge at the end so the scales are kinda bent and under tension.
@@AxlPBlacksmith thank you for the answer and tip. I have been a little apprehensive to start the handle. Also a bit busy. But will get it eventually. lol.
Beautiful
