Frankenskeene Razor with Custom Handle

 I  have used this razor with modern Gem blades, a vintage Damaskeene Blade, and a Sha-Ve-Zee Blue Back Blade. Today I thought I would try a couple of my vintage wedge blades in it. They look good, and I will be doing a week with this Frankenskeene Razor configuration.

The Frankensteene Razor: Damaskeene base plate with no cap and custom handle.

Here is the Damaskeene Blade.

Here is the Sha-Ve-Zee Blue Back Blade.

Next is the C.V. Helgestrand wedge.

And finally is the J.A. Henckels wedge.
